Gwrach Ynys site optimised

Recent site optimisation of Gwrach Ynys bed and breakfast in Snowdonia web site revealed a problematic page, a refrsh redirect index page, this is down to the chosen template having javascript driven menu within its template side amongst other fancyful scripts creating the look and feel, the site however loooks a whole lot better and is vastly improved in its content and I am confident that it will work very well for Deborah and Gwynfor

see the results here .... search term Guesthouse Snowdonia

Development of site standards

Looking around web sites large and small regionally, I have to admit that currently many well known sites do not validate nor do the render well across browsers.
I'm determined to address this in the designs I develop from now on.

I have started with my own site - I hope that ypu like to look and feel.

If you are thinking of a site of your own please take a look at the designs on http://www.oswd.org - then tell me which design you like than I can develop and edit it to suit your business, or self image.

You too can have a Blog to add to your site to keep people updated about your activities and business related activities.
