Professional yet affordable web design and development
Are you tired of listening to technical terms and expressions you do not understand when discussing your website projects with a web development team? You do not have to know the meaning of HTML5, CSS3, PHP, or XML to order a website!

He is the author of numerous technical books, professional and academic publications, and is a world-known expert in web standards. His expertise makes it possible to provide premium quality, cost-efficient, affordable websites for everyone, including small and medium-scale businesses and individuals. At Sikos Web Consulting, quality websites can fit into most budgets. Full standards compliance and all its benefits are provided by default.

Did you know?
Although HTML allows both capitalized and lowercase letters in element and attribute names, it is better to become accustomed to using lowercase letters, which are allowed in every markup (including XHTML, which is case-sensitive).
Theoretically, an RSS channel can contain an arbitrary number of items. However, some RSS readers (such as the news feed reader gadget in Windows) do not support RSS files larger than approximately 150KB or 2,800 lines, which corresponds to approximately 7 months if you update your RSS file daily. It is recommended that you keep the file size under this limit to maximize interoperability.
For those who are interested in web technologies, especially web standards, we have free online tutorials on emerging web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 modules, CSS3 transitions, Web Fonts, SVG, the Semantic Web, machine-readable metadata, Web accessibility, social networking, Open Linked Data, and more!
Web Quality Assurance via standards compliance
In contrast to most web agencies, Sikos Web Consulting provides full standard compliance; meaningful, structured, and accessible contents; machine-processable contents; optimal code length; interoperability; and proper settings. All these standardisation concerns are taken into account at Sikos Web Consulting, which is much more than what people think of when it comes to standards compliance. Websites powered with and optimised by properly implemented web standards have several benefits over the widely used, template-based websites driven by a CMS or blogging system such as WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla, such as
More efficient search engine indexing
Faster download time
Faster and accurate rendering
More users are accommodated, and they probably stay longer
Lower development cost
Approved accessibility
Maximized backward and forward compatibility
Optimal content lengths and file size, as well as cost-optimal storage
Easier maintenance and content update
Later obsoletion
Maximized device, browser, and resolution independence
In spite of these benefits, most websites have standards implementation issues. According to a comprehensive validation test series conducted in 2011 on the 350 most popular web sites in the world (selected by the Alexa index), 94 percent of websites fail the web standards validation tests. And these tests covered character encoding, markup, and styles only*. If we consider more features, such as serving, the ratio is even worse.
In contrast, we provide full standards compliance. Morover, with the exception of the most sophisticated, dynamic portals, all our websites are hand coded, making it possible to truly exploit the potential of web standards.
Internet marketing and SEO
The era of unethical tricks such as keyword stuffing used successfully to manipulate search engine rankings is over. In fact, the exclusive application of simple markup elements is not adequate to achive reasonable positions on search results. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) should be applied to boost your website. Beyond the common SEO services such as link building or fan page creation on social networking sites, we can also provide hand coded machine-readable metadata. Read more…
