Welcome to Adi Palaz Web Design & Development
Hello everyone,
My name is Adriana Palazova and this site showcases my web design work as well as some web design and development experiments and writings.
My philosophy
I create web sites as an independent web developer as my main goal is to make them beautiful, usable, standards compliant and accessible to the widest audience.
This sounds like a cliché and I could not affirm that I can accomplish that goal at 100%, but I am strongly convinced that web site and web browser software developers must strive to build standards compliant products with more accessibility features. The reasons are both moral and practical. I can state that I develop valid XHTML Strict code, valid CSS and I use unobtrusive java-scripts. I do my best to make the structure and the navigation clear and usable and to create cross-browser layouts and functionalities. The sites are tested with the most used browsers. Compliance with the Web Standards is the first step to accessibility and search engine good ranking. I also try to follow the W3C accessibility guidelines and I check my sites compliance with WAI Guidelines (external link) and Section 508 (external link). I also make a basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
What I can do for you
I offer a custom web design and development with hand-written source code. Each website is designed from scratch without using pre-built templates, so your design will be unique. Your site will be optimized for keyboard access and the layout will not break apart after a few text-size increases! (I find this very important for the optimal accessibility).
My services are available for hire. The prices are very affordable and there are flexible payment options, so do not hesitate to send me an e-mail with your project details. I will reply as soon as possible.
I am currently based in a small French town on the Swiss border, about 20 minutes from the center of Basel, but I am working with clients from different points of the world. This is the power of Internet.
