scientific and technical website design

Web design by CookandKaye
specialists in online education, mapping and scientific websites

Our core business is web design. We work to current W3C international guideleines for HTML to produce attractive, durable websites that have the broadest possible compatibility with modern browsers. Typically we test against five browsers on three operating systems before releasing any of our sites into the wild!

Our sites are flexible and can be delivered to a range of platforms including mobile devices and the printed page.

Most of our sites are designed and built entirely by us, but we also offer a code testing and verification/correction service to other design houses. Please contact us if you are interested in this service.

Below are some of our most recent projects, you can browse some of the others by category in the website design menu, or view an archive of our websites from the last 20 years in the endorsements section.

The Ring O'Bells, 2026

The The Ring O'Bells was one of Lancaster's favourite pubs, with a large beer garden in the centre of town. It has being extensively re-furbished after a number of years of neglect to recover its place int he heart of the city.

The design is based on that of the George and Dragon (repeat business is always reassuring!), both pubs are now in a distinctive green livery.

The George and Dragon, 2021

The The George and Dragon is one of Lancaster's oldest pubs, and offers visitors and locals a friendly atmosphere and fine ales!

The design puts the main offers on a single page, with a simple top menu jumping to the relevant sections of that page. Pretty much all of the page content - banners, text, beers are customisable, and driven by an extensive (but easy to use) administration section. The public page content is marked up with 'rich results, providing meta-data to improve search engine performance.
