Working with York-based design agency, Step Online, I recently finished a new website build for Sound Advice Acoustics Ltd. Putting aside my beloved WordPress for once, I created this one the traditional way — hand-coded XHTML static files — and I found it made a really refreshing change.

As you’d expect, the site is built to be 100% standards-compliant and has been tested across a multitude of OS/browser platforms, including my favourite browser of all time — Microsoft’s peerless Internet Explorer v6, within which it degrades as well as could be expected.
