Starting your web app? Sprinkle it with some YoDiv Code… February 4th, 2008

The team at Carson Workshops (the guys behind such great events as FOWD and FOWA, as well as ThinkVitamin.com) have put together a list of useful tips and tricks that should help you when building your web app.
Featured at Number 6 on their list of things they have learned:

6. Don’t have your developer do the XHTML and CSS.

This may seem like a small point, but it’s one of the reasons why YoDiv really exists, and we couldn’t agree more.
Your web app is the money maker, your website is your billboard, so use experts for each section of your new business. After all when you work on your house you don’t trust the builders with the interior design !

The developers can work up their magic behind the scenes, and by trusting YoDiv with your great designs you can guarantee a great XHTML website that is search engine friendly and faithful to every element of your designers work.

Yet again we agree with the Carson word, and if you are at the next FOWD (London) why not look out for us.
