It's a small niche market, but on the Web her website is up against several, long established French schools offering traditional classes. After reviewing her business and marketplace, the content of her website was refocused and the website was re-presented using state-of-the-art techniques. Bernadette can now be confident that the most is being made of the Web, with virtually everyone experiencing her website just the way she does, despite different software and operating systems.[This item replaces a similarly-titled news item, inadvertently published, which was incorrect.] Tue, 08 Aug 2006 13:00:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/portfolio.php Tukilik's website has been substantially upgraded. The website has been partially rewritten, presentation improved (and the flash splash page has been replaced with a more effective and modern landing page), and the website has been completely recoded to web standards with considerably improved accessibility (WCAG level A to AAA, depending on page). Wed, 10 May 2006 09:01:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/who-we-are.php For government work, or indeed to observe the letter of UK's current law, Web designers must build accessible websites (they let more people use them, more easily). At the end of November 2005, romjon.com was very pleased to receive independent confirmation of its capability to do this. GAWDS, the Guild of Accessible Web Designers, a group with technical entry requirements including peer review accepted Romily Jones as a member. Mon, 02 Jan 2006 08:22:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/ Ever been frustrated by the small size of the text on a website? Many people are, often, but can't find a way to change it. On the romjon.com website, you now have three choices of text size. Just make your selection! In fact, changing the text size was always possible on the romjon.com website, but many people don't know where to find this control in their Web browser - it is often hidden away, inexplicably. In Internet Explorer, even if you do find the menu item, often website designers have made choices that stop you from having this control. Sat, 01 Oct 2005 18:19:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/b05/briefing-accessible-websites.html Ideally, all websites could be used by - be accessible to - everyone (giving the maximum market size). In practice, poorly built websites restrict access to many - a survey in 2004 found 80% of 1000 large websites could not be used by the disabled (about 20% of 16-65 year olds). This is probably unlawful under the UK's DDA. ...

You can read a little more on the romjon.com website, as well as check the current position of the website. Wed, 27 Jul 2005 16:23:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/b05/briefing-whats-RSS.html RSS easy-to-use, but not so easy to explain without examples in front of you. So a briefing has been added to the romjon.com website to explain how it works, and how to set it up for yourself. Tue, 12 Jul 2005 21:15:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/ romjon.com website has been substantially revised to reflect better what romjon.com offers: the ability to reach larger audiences, help visitors prefer you to your competitors, and our own a more adjustable, and less costly to maintain, website. Besides rewriting much of the content, two additional briefings have been added: "What is Web design?" and "Why maintain? And how to do it?". Mon, 04 Jul 2005 08:02:00 GMT http://www.weybourne-holiday-cottages.co.uk/ Comfortable, self-catering, holiday cottages in traditional brick and flint at Weybourne on the North Norfolk coast between Sheringham and Blakeney, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (an AONB). Replacing a conventional website, the owner sought greater search engine visibility and a more business-serving website - a prospective guest now gets a very good idea of what they could be "buying". Many photos. It is built to Web Standards, and meets all of the priority 3 or level AAA, conformance requirements in the main automated checking tools (Bobby and Cynthia). Mon, 27 Jun 2005 17:49:00 GMT http://www.landmarkartscentre.org/ The Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington, south west London, regularly features jazz, blues, choral, classical music, opera and dance in its year-round programme. The primary aims of the website are twofold: firstly, to get much better visibility in the search engines to improve participation and membership, and to help those looking for a venue to find somewhere to perform in; and, secondly, to improve attendance by members by making it easier for them to find out what is on, and when. The new website was put up at the end of May. It is built to Web Standards, and meets all of the priority 3 or level AAA, conformance requirements in the main automated checking tools (Bobby and Cynthia). Sun, 05 Jun 2005 14:32:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/ Accessibility of websites, a consequence of the Disability Discrimination Act, is about making a website easier to use by those who are not fully abled. The changes on romjon.com this time around make it easier for screen readers to read the site (though a little bit more work is needed is to get as far as it's possible to get). A not inconsiderable amount of the difficulty in making a fully accessible site revolves around getting the major browsers to display the site, and act, in the same way so the site looks as you want it to, despite the changes underneath for accessibility purposes. An exercise in advanced "hackery"! Sat, 12 Feb 2005 10:07:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/ Aside from a general tightening of the content, the briefings have been updated. Sun, 30 Jan 2005 18:55:00 GMT http://www.romjon.com/b04/briefing_murky_search.html An introduction to the search engine world and its temptations to use underhand tactics to get ahead, and why your position in a search engine's results can vary in a short space of time.
