We offer site builds that support a full range of video formats including support for html5. This allows for video to be played within a supporting browser without relying upon the Adobe Flash plug-in.

Not all browsers fully support html5 (most notably internet explorer but support has been promised for the upcoming  internet explorer 9) and those that do support different video codecs. To combat this any video services offered by East Sussex Design will automatically detect the correct codec or fall back to Flash if a browser without support is detected allowing for a seamless user experience for your site visitors.

Current browser support is as follow:

VIDEO           Flash   H.264   Ogg Theora
                .flv     .m4v      .ogv
Firefox 3.6      -          -        X
Safari 4.0       -          X        -
Chrome 4.0       -          X        X
Other (Flash)    X          X        -
Flash is supported on all the above browsers but requires a plug-in.

HTML5 website design for the same price!

The good news is that will not be charging any extra for you to have your site built using HTML5. We will build a standard website with full HTML5 and CSS3 support for exactly the same price that we charge for a standard HTML4 or XHTML website.

If you want any extras such as taking advantage of some of the advanced iPad features then we will happily quote for that as well.

We also offer a HTML5 conversion service for anyone who would like a current website brought up to the latest standard. Contact us for more information

• Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
• Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages so I thought I would put together a brief overview.

When a search term is entered into Google, a set of results are displayed to the end user. The results are divided into paid for results and organic results.

Organic results appear during a search based upon how highly the search engine in question (in this instance Google) rates the content of the website in relation to the search term whilst the paid for results (sponsored links) are paying to be listed for that search term.

The above picture shows a typical results page from a Google search. The paid for listings are highlighted in red whilst the organic listings are highlighted in green.

So what are the main differences between the two techniques? Well the obvious answer is that to maintain a SEM listing costs money. Each time the listing appears during a search and each time an end user clicks on the listing costs the sponsor money. How much the sponsor pays is dependant upon  any maximum limits the sponsor put in place (such as no more than £0.50 for a listing) and also on how popular the search term may be (the more popular the search term translates to more sponsors bidding for the same listing).

So why would you want to use SEM? Well in a nutshell its possible to pay for a page one SERP as soon as a webpage is built. This in turn can give instant results (all be it at a price).

So what about search engine optimisation (SEO)? This technique can lead to a good organic listing without having to pay for it to appear. The only outlay is the time, patience and most often the fees you pay an SEO consultant to help you achieve a good organic SERP.

Getting a good organic listing can take a while to achieve but the rewards more than pay for it in the long run as it removes (or reduces) having to pay for a sponsored link. Not only this but end users generally trust organic results much more than sponsored links so the click through rate (the amount of users that visit the site from the search page) is generally much better.

We intend to offer the following services:

• New HTML5 website development
• Conversion of current websites to HTML5 (including conversion of Flash to HTML5 canvas when appropriate).
• Apple iPad targeting which will take advantage of the touch screen as well as automatic adjustment of the display to suit the device orientation.
• HTML5 video and audio

More news coming soon!

We still offer the SEO performance report at the original price of £199. Please see the prices section for a breakdown of our latest prices.

About the Rainbow Project

The Rainbow Project has been created to not only help with the initial set up costs associated with a new charitable / non-profit website build, but to also help with the management and administration of larger sites once live.

The discount is fixed at a generous 30% regardless of the size of the web site.

Free Training

We understand that the management of a large site can be a daunting task. This is especially true with charitable organisations which often rely upon untrained volunteers to help with administration.

In order to combat this we can provide free on-site training for all large site builds who qualify for the Rainbow Project (excluding travel costs). In addition to this we also provide free telephone support once the site is live.
