“SiteGIDGET will provide people with a drag-and-drop web site builder that is both portable and fully CSS compliant, producing faster, lighter pages and ultra searchable by search engines. SiteGIDGET will become the standard to which all other website builders are measured.” 

SiteGIDGET is an online website builder with a difference, in that it is truly one of the first online website builders that embraces all of the very best practices for a modern, standards-based approach to website creation.  Back when the Internet was in its infancy, there was only one real way to make a good looking web site with a professional look, and that was to hire a web designer. They had access to specialized software that could take a graphic image that was approved by the customer and turn it into a functioning web page.  There are two problems with this today;  the first problem is that this software, once reserved for the most seasoned and knowledgeable of professionals, is now inexpensive enough for anyone to purchase and use without the benefits of any practical training.  The second problem is that the techniques of the professional website designer have changed, while the software has not. Modern websites put the focus of a web page almost exclusively on content by using external stylesheets instead of embedding the design information directly into the page. They have pages that comply with industry standards and are accessible to users with disabilities. SiteGIDGET uses all of these modern approaches for the full benefit of your website.

"CSS" separates design from content

The main difference between programming for building websites and programming for other types of software is that the programming language of the internet is plain text. That means that to the browsers and search engines, there is no difference between your carefully-worded text, and the code that displays it. View the source code of this page to see what this looks like. On an "old-school" webpage, it's not abnormal for a page to be over 20k in file size, especially when it gets to complex layouts, animation, pop-out menus, etc. If you have 2k worth of actual text, that means that the ratio between content and design on this kind of page is 1:10; in other words, only a tenth of your page is actual content. A CSS-driven website page is built completely differently. All design instructions for the browser are stored in a separate file called a "cascading stylesheet". By offloading virtually all of the design code onto another page, the page that is read by browsers and search engines is much smaller. It's not uncommon for a "CSS-driven" webpage to be just 4k in file size, for the exact same design. That means that your ratio immediately jumps to 1:2, meaning as much as a half of your page is actual relevant content. Most professional web designers use this technique but it is something that is not easy to do by hand, even if you're using a program to do it. SiteGIDGET's online website builder system uses this approach automatically and invisibly, so you don't even need to know what CSS means.

"Valid web pages" are displayed by the browser faster and more reliably

"Old-school" web pages relied on the fact that sloppy or incorrect code would still be displayed in the browser, more or less. Now however, with so many different browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Google Chrome to name just a few), the only way to ensure that all your customers are seeing the page that you designed is by designing it with code that follows the standards followed by all modern browsers. The added bonus when this is done is that your pages are easier for the browser to display, so they display faster. SiteGIDGET online website builder automatically generates valid, standards-based code for all your webpages, ensuring that customers and search engines alike have the fastest and most reliable access to your content.

"Accessibility" means more potential customers can browse your site

A lot of online website builder software creates web pages that are generated as Flash animations. Sometimes, entire pages are done in this way, including navigation and links. While they do look very nice, the Flash content is not exposed on the web page as plain text, which means that people with visual imparements will be unable to access your pages. It's estimated that as much as 20% of people surfing the 'net are doing so with some form of disability.  Not many businesses are so big that they would willingly turn away one fifth of their business!

Put this all together and you get Search Engine optimization built-in

SiteGIDGET's website builder software follows all the modern approaches of external style sheets, valid standards-based web page code, plain and accessible text navigation and content, along with other site administrative tools. It does this in a completely visual interface that gives you all of these amazing benefits without any of the cost: in fact, we've had our own "competitions" against our SiteGIDGET website builder software.
