What we do

Design an effective HTML email.

It's not easy getting your proverbial foot in the door... or the inbox, as it were. When it comes to HTML email design, it's imperative to work within the boundaries of email markup standards to create a design that not only functions expertly but is flexible enough to adapt to the multitude of available email applications. We're here to consult with you on all your email needs to make sure your design will function as intended.

Upgrade an existing design to current web standards.

Designing for the web presents some unique engineering challenges: How will your design adapt to different screen resolutions? Will it still function correctly with a different font or typeface? How will the graphics affect the page loading? Will the assets you've employed enhance or disrupt your audience's experience? Our team of design and engineering specialists can take your existing design out for a test drive, tune it up and optimize it for the latest web standards without sacrificing the brand recognition you built it for.

Design to markup (PSD to HTML)

We're eager to put our HTML, AJAX and JavaScript expertise to work for you from start to finish and every step in between. Not only will your new website be cross-browser and cross-platform compatible, but we'll make it quicker to load and easier to maintain without sacrificing the functionality of the original design.

Design to email (PSD to Email)

Without a robust email system that encourages your audience to keep the lines of communication open, your website will be little more than a static billboard. Our developers can help you maximize your HTML emails so that your customers remain dynamically engaged with your message, encouraging them to return to your website more often and recommend it to all their family and friends.

Update existing markup

Considering the number of iterations the average website goes through over the course of its life, it's not at all uncommon for stray or orphaned bits of code to accumulate enough to degrade the site's performance. Bring us your website's outdated code and we'll update it to meet or beat all current web standards and optimize it for the best possible access speeds.

Markup for .NET

Microsoft .NET has it's own markup requirements with custom controls, master pages and special rules. We have a division that specializes in .NET solutions and working with .NET projects.

Markup for Rails

From the first days of Ruby on Rails, we've enthusiastically supported its application framework and encouraged many of our favorite clients to employ it. Our experts have the necessary training and experience to put Rails (including SASS and HAML) hard to work on your website.

Optimize for search engines

As search engines like Google continue to embrace the semantic web, the quality of a website's markup dramatically affects its position in the search rankings. Our service includes the first step toward efficient Search Engine Optimization by perfecting the markup of your site. Once we've built a solid SEO foundation for your site, you're ready to insert your own keyword-rich text that'll shoot your site to the top of the rankings.

Design to Flash (see Flashized.com)

WordPress

WordPress is one of the most popular Content Management Systems in use today, and we were so enchanted by it that we created our very own WordPress Team - WPized! Well beyond the ordinary theme-creation service, our specialists have the tools and the skills necessary to offer you a complete WordPress solution. And this year we have the honor and the privilege of being one of the sponsors of WordCamp in Austin, Texas!

Blogger

When Blogger's co-founder Biz Stone choose XHTMLized for the launch of Twitter, he said we were "...from the future". That's high praise coming from one of the most technologically influential people in business today, and we work harder and harder every day to earn it.

Expression Engine

Expression Engine is an elegant content management system preferred by many designers for its attractive interface. But to get the most out of it requires advanced understanding of how Expression Engine works. XHTMLized has implemented several large scale Expression Engine solutions, including the main system which runs the Readers Digest website and some large eCommerce web solutions for fitness training and education like Fitnation.com.au.

Drupal

Drupal is already turning heads and gaining rapid interest as the new must-have Content Management System. We like what Drupal is doing and are pleased to be integrating this new CMS into our services.

Browser testing

Seems like a new browser or a new version of an old browser is released once a month, and you can imagine how staying on top of that game is a full time job in itself. But by employing both automated and manual testing methods for each browser, we can perform on-off compliance tests to make sure your site is optimized for compatibility with all our supported browsers.

Accessibility testing

Having an accessibility website is not only the right thing to do, in many countries it's required for business and government sites. We can conduct an accessibility audit on your site and make recommendations for what needs to be done to ensure your meeting government and industry regulations.

Performance testing

We know seconds count, and when it comes to the web speed is essential, particularly for high-volume sites. Embracing tools like Yahoo YSlow we can make sure your website is optimized so your visitors don't wait a second longer than they have too.

Recommendations

Every week we deal with some of the busiest and most popular websites on the Internet. From our years of experience, we know what makes a website work better and faster. We can take a look at your website and offer practical recommendations to take your site to a higher level.
