Doesn't everyone like to KISS?

The web gets bigger and bigger. More and more pages, sites, standards, special effects. Each page with more and more pull-downs, pop-ups, flashy animations, flashy (or trashy) opinions.

But ask yourself—is there really, truthfully, a greater number of useful resources available now than there was before this huge expansion? Or are they just harder to find?

And ask yourself—do all these gadgets and gizmos really, truly aid the communication that is supposed to be taking place on the internet? Or do they just make it harder to read the pages?

We make Simple.Sites© for straightforward communication.

'Simple' doesn't (we hope) mean 'stupid'. It means—simple. It means valid HTML and CSS. It means valid document types. It means no unnecessary graphics, animations, or plug-ins and consequently, no unnecessary problems. It means sites that download as quickly as is feasible, even for modem users. It means sites that are accessible using alternative browsers. It means that the designs are focussed around what the web does well— and not what paper does better. It's a little KISS for your readers.

Here are some RoTEK Simple.Sites:

For simple hosting we use 1&1 They're OK.
We use Dreamhost for sophisticated hosting. They're very good.

Does this site look a bit odd?

If so, sorry about that! This page was designed for optimum display in recent graphical browsers (versions 7,8 and 9). If it's looking sad, you may find it will look much better in a graphical browser that supports modern web standards. But you are not missing any content or anything else (apart from the smarter looks!), everything is still accessible to any browser or Internet device. Various graphical browsers that support web standards may be available (depending on what you are using to browse) for no cost other than the download.
