Underneath, the new code follows best practices and makes it more accessible to those who want to view it with an ever increasing range of browsers and devices," explained company web developer Andy Troy.
As a global company serving the international oil and gas industry, Hawke uses the web as a key communication channel for providing technical information.
Engineers working on projects throughout the world need prompt access to the latest technical and safety information on cable glands, connectors and enclosures.
XHTML 1.0 Strict W3C validation is a quality assurance check that ensures coding conforms to the standard.
This means the site presentation will be consistent irrespective of the browser or type of internet device used.
It will also remain compatible with any new browsers and devices developed to use the standard.
Switching from a table based layout to cascading style sheets layout (CSS) will also make page load times quicker for web site users.
A print style sheet has been included that makes every page automatically print friendly without having to click an extra link to load a print friendly page.
As a supplier of hazardous area electrical safety equipment, Hawke products are subject to independent testing to achieve safety certification.
"By adopting W3C validation for our web site we are applying the same standards of scrutiny and verification that apply elsewhere in the business," explained head of development and marketing Phil O'Connor: "The benefit for our customers is assured and consistent access to the latest information from anywhere in the world using any device or any platform.
We believe no one else in our business can make this claim".
