This section explains why you should look carefully at what your existing site is doing for you and some of the standards against which it should be judged.
Why Upgrade?- Technology moves on
There have been significant advances in web technology over the last two years, modern browsers now support common standards and it is possible to write code that is cross browser compatible.
Dynamic code (DHTML) can replace old animated gifs, to give your site life without increasing download times.
Style sheets are now recognised across platforms and can now give your site a consistent, easily editable, feel.
We could go on.......... - Standards change
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) issues standards for coding on the web which will eventually mean that older sites will no longer function correctly on modern equipment. Conformity with standards ensures forward compatibility. (See Web Standards) - Content changes
Chances are that your organisation has moved on since your site was published - Here is the opportunity to refresh your message.
Why not consider adding the facility for dynamic content so that you can maintain much of the site in-house? Click here for a demonstration - Fashion changes
Those, once cool, repeating background images are now seen as distracting and over fussy. Flashing text now annoys more than it impresses. The fact is that many included such features just because they could, internet users are now much more discerning because the internet has become main-stream, not just the preserve of techies and academics
