Five Mile Media - Who we are

Five Mile Media are pleased to have had the opportunity to design and develop the new S&T website which is now live at www.s-and-t.com.

Five Mile Media is on the move... actually, we have moved!

Our new home is in Vickers Business Centre in Basingstoke. If you want to find us or get in touch then please take a look at our contact page, it would be great to hear from you.

Our new telephone number is +44(0)1256 463616.

This site makes plenty of references to ‘web standards’ and ‘standards compliance’ so it makes good sense to offer this quick introduction to what they are all about.

The Why

During the early days of the web we had the ‘browser wars’. Fighting for market dominance, the early web browsers used browser-specific features and code in an attempt to 'out-cool' the competition.

This left us with seriously difficult-to-maintain spaghetti code behind the scenes and ridiculous ‘best viewed in…’ messages on the screen. The freshness of the technologies being introduced also meant that methods of working were yet to mature.

Welcome to the new Five Mile Media website. Our new home includes examples of our recent work and plenty of information about the services we offer.

I am also looking forward to trying my hand at writing (hopefully regular) articles that will cover areas of interest for web designers, developers and anyone who is interested in knowing more about professional web design techniques and general web information.
