All the websites produced by Surface Digital
are for the South African market conditions. This means that they
are relatively lightweight in footprint to accommodate the
slow connectivity and cost of bandwidth in our country.
It is our preference to use both HTML and Flash in a single
page as apposed to full-Flash as this allows your site to
be indexed by one of the more popular search engines.
Generally speaking, once this technique has been employed
in the building of a site, it should not be necessary to re-engineer
a site for it to be search engine and user friendly.
In some cases, such as the E-commerce field, where being
listed top of a search engine is of up most importance, Surface
will be able to further optimise and engineer your website
to giving you even better results.
