The new website had to graphically last for many years resulting in no need for the client to redesign in a few years time. The website is aesthetically and technically well built, that uses 1 of the best HTML/CSS frameworks available. We handled the client’s content putting a lot of effort into maximising the clarity, quality and structure of all the different sections. We presented and structured information in a way that gives people potentially looking to commission their planning services, the information they are going to want to know and need, in a quick and precise manner. This was especially true for the Project Examples section, that was edited more than 30 times. When doing user feedback, a main point with the old website and with many town planning websites in general, was that they do not display their telephone number in an obvious and blatant enough way, often hidden away and difficult to find.
So what did we do? The website is also highly accessible and usable, here are some features: adherence to good practice in graphic communication design, fully Google-friendly, all webpages pass many of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) requirements at levels A, AA and AAA. We tested all webpages with various screenreader software and there is also a skip-navigation option. They also do public consultations and need questionnaire forms designed and setup, that then send the user’s responses back to them by email. The website appears simple, but is surprisingly complex and contains a lot of content. We also monitor the website’s performance from time-to-time over the year, against new website design and accessibility standards, technical updates, bugs, and potential security issues. This website ticks many design quality boxes and gives them every chance of success, echoing their professional and credible service. A website that works well on mobiles and tablets. Their previous website was not mobile-friendly. Using advanced information design methods, we increased the chance of satisfying people who may commission their services, leading to more chance of new business enquiries.
Many broken belief systems that exist do so because of a misinformed understanding of how the world works through naive idealism, with various special interests paying to syndicate misinformation that coincides with their current business model to foster culturally constructed ignorance - agnotology. It is not a bubble. This time is different. Who was behind that lie? The bankers, the mortgage brokers, the Realtors, Top Source Media website bond raters, hedge funds, construction companies, Top Source Media website running real estate ads, local government tax revenues, current home owners who kept seeing their "savings" go up while doing nothing. Some of those people did not intentionally aim to be deceitful, they just believed a convenient lie that fit with their worldview. And so the bubble grew until one day the fraud was so integrated into society that there was simply nobody left to sell to. Then the bottom fell out. The rule of law was SELECTIVELY & arbitrarily enforced against a few, even while companies that made sworn statements admitting to doing literally millions of times more damage were not penalized, but rather bailed out / promoted.
Bowen testified on April 7 before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission created by Congress. The rule of law only applies to those who lack the resources needed to subvert it. Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the rest! Wachovia was a strong brand. A true pioneer and market leader in the drug money game, which funneled over 1/3 TRILLION Dollars onto the hands of drug dealers. For the crime they got a slap on the wrist. There was no jailtime. There was no honest attempt at the rule of law. The same is true online. Those who exhibit desirable characteristics are promoted & those who do not fit such a frame are left to fight amongst other losers in the market. Being grounded is not a way to get positive headlines. Saying that the web is becoming just like the fraud laced offline world would be considered in poor taste. If you manufacture evidence that your LinkedIn votes are directly tied to better Google rankings then outsiders who are unaware of the workings of your industry may syndicate that misinformation.
