3 Wave Studio custom web sites and graphic design

To Design a Site That Suits You.

Web Design Knowledge

The 3 Wave Creative Design Studio works With You to build your site exactly the way you want it. Through continuous design consultation, We work together to make sure that the site you get is the site you want.

Each web site is built from scratch and hand-coded to make sure that your site is completely unique and yours alone. We don't use any of those programs that "generate" a site for you where you just plug in some text and images. We work together to explore all of the latest trends in technology and discover how they can benefit you.

XHTML and CSS Advantages

XHTML is the Extensible Hypertext Markup Language. It is the latest version of HTML. This is the language that web browsers read to interpret the data contained within your web site. All of the text and images that describe you and your business are coded within tags that tell the browser what that information is.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are files within your web site that tell the browser how the information is displayed and give it a consistent look and feel.

  • Optimization. All modern browsers are optimized for Cascading Style Sheets and recommend that you use them.
  • Adaptability. CSS and XHTML allow for the changing needs of your site. Referencing the CSS file allows your site to easily grow and expand, without needing to restructure the code every time you want to make a change or add a new product or service.
