The Lemon Detox is one of the most popular detoxes around. This flexible programme helps the body cleanse itself naturally of accumulated toxins. The site required a rebuild as it was very inefficient in terms of bandwidth and code. The site code size reduced by around 90%, and overall size (including graphics) by around 50%, this resulted in a faster loading site, a site that is now easier to maintain, a standards valid site (where possible), and reduced bandwidth bills. We also created a new suppliers page that allows users to search for stockists based on postcode distance, region, county or town. The page allows the user to see the info on the store and a map from google. All the stores are managed from a CMS.

This website. The original template was designed by edg3.co.uk but has been modified and amended by us. The site is written in XHTML strict 1.0, and uses JavaScript to show and hide sections, this degrades if JavaScript is not available so functionality is still retained. It uses CSS to control the look and feel, if CSS is not available the site downgrades nicely and should be readable by specialised browsers such as screen readers or text only browsers. The site also tries to conform to accessibility guidelines where possible. There are a couple of cases where different font sizes don't work but a design aspect was taken over that.
