New Website Launched
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new website, which has been re-engineered - with every page passing the W3C XHTML 1.0 ‘Strict’ validation tool. Although we have done a complete design change, we have tried to retain the feel of the old site so customers can follow familiar navigation routes. Underneath, the new code follows best practices and makes it more accessible to those who want to view it with an ever increasing range of browsers and devices.
As a global company serving the international oil and gas industry, we use the web as a key communication channel for providing technical information. Engineers working on projects throughout the world need access to the latest technical and safety information on cable glands, connectors and enclosures quickly.
XHTML 1.0 Strict W3C validation is a quality assurance check that ensures coding conforms to the standard. This means the site presentation will be consistent irrespective of the browser or type of internet device used. It will also remain compatible with any new browsers and devices developed to use the standard.
Switching from a table based layout to cascading style sheets layout (CSS) will also make page load times quicker for web site users. A print style sheet has been included that makes every page automatically print friendly without having to click an extra link to load a print friendly page.
Care has been taken to make the new site accessible to the visually impaired, so that text is easily re-sized, the site is compatible with browsers used by the sight impaired and design follows best practice for ease of reading.
As a supplier of hazardous area electrical safety equipment, our products are subject to independent testing to achieve safety certification. By adopting WC3 validation for our website we are applying the same standards of scrutiny and verification that apply elsewhere in the business. The benefit for our customers is assured and consistent access to the latest information from anywhere in the world using any device or any platform.
