All DHF sites now validated

2008-06-24

All new web sites designed by Duck Hole Farm, LLC are now validated against World Wide Web Consortium standards. On their web site (www.w3.org), they provide online web page scanning services which verify the page's compliance with web standards. All DHF web site designs employ Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) technology, which is considered to be the best available design methodology. This technique separates the content from the layout, which simplifies future site revisions.

News sidebar feature

2008-03-07

A news sidebar (like the one you are reading) may now be added to your home page (or other page, if desired). The news articles are stored in a secure database on your host server, and articles may be added, edited, and deleted directly from your web browser. No special software is needed. The editing pages are password protected, so only you can change the articles displayed. The sidebar may be located anywhere on the page, it may be any reasonable size, and the articles may be formatted as you like.

Duck Hole Farm reorganization

2008-03-07

Effective January 2, 2008, Duck Hole Farm Web Site Development, a sole proprietorship formed in April of 2007, is now Duck Hole Farm, LLC. The primary function of the organization remains unchanged; I provide web site development and maintenance services to small businesses and organizations.

Some available page design features:

I can convert your product catalog into a series of PDF files and make the entire catalog available on your web site. The catalog information is organized for easy updating.

Notice the DHF News sidebar above at the right side of this page. The news articles that are displayed in this sidebar on your web site may be edited easily right from your browser. This feature is secured by a UserID and Password to protect against unauthorized entries. Ask for a demonstration of this feature!

I can embed a Google Map in your web site, showing prospective customers and clients how to easily locate your place of business. Try it... below is a "live" map; it can be moved and zoomed using the controls in the top left corner of the map window.

I can also embed local weather forecasts from the weather.com web site, like the one below. The links are live; click on them!

Argyle Weather Forecast, NY (12809)

Ads may also be placed on your pages. These earn small commissions when the user clicks on the ad and then makes a purchase. Below is an ad from Amazon.com.

DHF web sites now employ validated HTML, XHTML, and CSS layout methods, ensuring good browser compatibility and simple, low cost page updates. The icon below is your assurance of quality page layout. You may check the validity of any web page by clicking the appropriate icon and entering the page address.
