Widgets are small software applications that provide simple functionalities, such as a clock or a calendar, and/or easy access to your web services. Simple to use and install, desktop widgets run directly from the desktop, whereas web widgets can be embedded in any web page, blog, or online community profile, such as Facebook or MySpace, etc.
The internet has grown rapidly in both size and capability in recent years. Today, you can create far more than a simple ‘brochure’ online. With Pogopixels, you can create an exciting, stimulating website that will ensure you get the most from your online presence, with your domain name and hosting all taken care of in one cost effective package.
At Pogopixels, we utilise the very latest XHTML and CSS programming technology, along with Javascript for responsive and interactive web pages and PHP / MySQL for dynamic content.
The advantages of using strict XHTML / CSS are proven:
It’s faster to load and easier to maintain – because the code is clean and lightweight. This also means it scales well, which is particularly important for large websites, but also relevant for smaller ones.
It can be viewed on any device - not only modern browsers, but also just about any web-enabled device, including hand-held devices such as phones or console games. This is becoming increasingly important as web enabled portable devices become more prevalent.
It is very search engine friendly – thanks to its strict structure, search engines are able to check XHTML pages quickly and extract the relevant information. This means your site is likely to gain a higher rating on the leading search engines such as Google and Ask.
It is more accessible – so your site can easily be interpreted by accessibility devices such as screen readers. This is important as it is now required by law in many countries. Many web developers also believe that increasing your site’s accessibility helps gain higher rankings. The more accessible the site the cleaner the code, the better Google likes it.
In short, we ensure your site benefits from the latest advances in internet technology, helping your site to be found and read more easily and conveniently than ever before.
Many people forget that the World Wide Web is just that – worldwide. Adding just two or three extra languages to your site can bring significantly more customers to your business. Having invested in a quality website or widget it makes sense to make it as accessible to as many people as possible by localising it in this way.
Localising an application or website can be a complex process to implement and maintain, and because of this, many companies tend not to bother. However, at Pogopixels we’ve developed a set of ready-made solutions to make localisation in any environment simple and cost effective.
From a basic widget, to a full website, we can provide you with the technology you need to localize your content easily in as many languages as you wish, expanding your market place and reaching as many customers as possible.
