What is lean web design?

Lean websites work for people: with simple, useable design, semantically rich content that makes sense, and lightweight technologies that stay out of the way. Contact us to find out how Distill Design can put the lean web to work for you.


Our Capabilities

Every site Distill Design builds is just enough. Here are some of the basic ingredients of all our websites.

  • Visual design. When people feel good about design, it works better. We believe simple design inspires confidence.
  • Lightweight technologies. Our sites are hand-made with web standards like XHTML and CSS. Websites made with web standards are backward-compatible and fast-loading, even over dial-up.
  • Search engine optimization. Our sites are ideal for high-ranking positions on Google. People find our sites fast.
  • Platform agnostic design. Standards-based sites work with a variety of platforms, including PCs, Macs, older computers, and mobile handhelds—they look great in print, too.
  • Web services integration. Want to sell online? Or accept donations? We make ecommerce and other web services work simply.
  • Get in touch with us and we'd be happy to discuss your needs.
