How to speak the advanced web language of today
Lotek—built websites are hand-coded, fast loading and multibrowser tested. They are composed of clear syntax and meaningful markup. We believe that your website(s) should evolve with the goals of your business. We therefore hand-code your sites for easy updatability and enhancement. And we take full advantage of CSS 2.0 strengths to promote efficiency through reuse and inheritance.
Lotek-built websites offer you these key advantages:
Lotek XHTML + CSS 2.0 layouts make your site easy to maintain and evolve.
e.g.: Rising Tao
From PSD to HTML, Lotek brings your designs to life. We create clean markup for great looks and easy updates. Lotek industry best practices also ease integration with blogs, CMS, and other software tools.
e.g.: Joanne Dero
W3C validation is a form of testing, making sure your website adheres to modern quality standards.
e.g.: Robert Kilborn
Accessibility means your website looks great in all modern browsers, yet is still compatible with older software.
e.g.: La Maison d'Herelle
All the best and most current web software uses CSS 2.0 and HTML5. We leverage this advantage for you and seamlessly integrate Open Source tools into your website for superior performance.

e.g.: Double Reed Shop
