Z-omo: digital media

Web standards and accessibility:

Z-omo builds all internet based content using web standards as ratified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) combined with best practices for accessibility as specified by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Adopting web standards for the web site building framework produces clean, correctly structured markup with the following benefits for both the client:

• uses less server bandwidth;
• the web site works on the largest number of browsing devices;
• maximises the number of potential users;
• improves Search Engine rankings;
• future proofs the delivery of the content

and for the end user:

• a faster download;
• accessible to users with disabilities.

Internet Security:

Crucial to developing any database-driven web application; website and content management system is a high level of security awareness.  A Z-omo developed application would be built following internet security best practices to protect against known web attacks.

Search Engine Optimisation:

Utilising web standards: producing clean, correctly structured HTML markup, combined with well written content and relevant metadata, a client's internet content would provide accessible content for Search Engines.

Web page metadata being crucial to a web page's interpretation would be correctly structured whether hand building pages or via a Z-omo developed content management system (CMS); allowing web content editors to easily load content with well-formed meta tags.  Website pages, created through a Z-omo CMS, would include meta tags formed following the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative specification, therefore attaining greater interoperability.

Z-omo also utilises within the HTML component attributes a Resource Description Framework (RDFa), enhancing web page content to be ready for the Semantic Web.
