So, Why Do People Visit Websites?

- The pages are tested in a number of browsers and amended accordingly so that they display correctly in the most popular ones such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
- The code is validated to make sure that it complies with W3C standards.
Once the front end work is complete, we then begin work on the back end of the website. We will design and develop any database structure that might be required and integrate this into the website by building the necessary pages to connect to the data. We will also build any
