Hand-coding is a term that refers to a type of programming style and also reflects programming knowledge. It means that the designer or programmer does not rely on WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) software to do the programming for them.

A little goober-geeky goes a long way

In this day and age where web-based projects are treated like a synthetic commodity hot off the conveyor belt, we're proud of our kid glove hand-cut and hand-coded web sites. A hand-coded site offers the ultimate in design control, delivery of clean/tidy code and development expertise. This equates to:

• faster download times
• simplified future site transitions and integration
• uncomplicated site maintenance
• uncluttered code (search engines LOVE clean code!)

You can expect each Spike Likes web site to be just as beautifully crafted on the inside as the outside. When you are looking for a site developer...a little bit of programming goober geekiness goes a long way.

CSS–and then some

An aspect of hand-coding and developing streamlined clean code is the heavy use of Cascading Style Sheets which our company has integrated as a standard practice. CSS makes web sites easier to maintain and update. CSS lends a hand in accelerating page download times and allows search engines to find the content of your pages faster.

Do you already have a web site?

When was the last time you checked your code? Just because your audience can't see the code, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be just as intelligently developed as the visible design. Contact us for details about our custom web designs.
