Blue Egg Web Design Agency in the Press

"Over the ten years of designing websites there is one lesson I have learnt above all: keep it simple! Your site visitors will thank you for it. The temptation with web design is to cram in as many of the juicy technologies into your site as possible".

"Whether designing layout for the web, or for print, the same principles of design apply. Two examples demonstrating this clarity can be viewed at www.greenlantern35.co.uk and www.contractorumbrella.com. Strip these two designs down and you have three clearly defined areas: 1. Top Banner 2. Left Navigation 3. Main Content Area. This hierarchy of elements ensures a high degree of usability. Avoid overuse of distracting animations or too many colours and think of design consistency throughout your site. Web design, keep it simple!"

"At Blue Egg Ecommerce we design/code in the latest standards (xhtml, css2.0) to ensure maximum accessibility to our sites, the additions provided in the upgrade to CS2 enabling the building and editing of CSS-based pages are invaluable. The visual CSS authoring for mobile devices is also a nifty tool and addresses the needs posed by this rapidly growing market. Recommend others to upgrade? Yes, without hesitation!"
