By now you prob­ably real­ise the dire state of read­ing on the web. Art­icles will be split across mul­tiple pages, anim­ated Flash ads will do what they do best: dis­tract you, the back­ground will clash with the type, the text will be too small/big, the meas­ure too wide/narrow and the list goes on. All in all; it makes for a ter­rible read­ing exper­i­ence. Enter (about a year ago): Arc90 with Read­ab­il­ity.

I star­ted using Read­ab­il­ity when it was first announced, and although I wasn’t imme­di­ately impressed in a big enough way to give it pride of place in my book­marks I still fol­lowed any updates with great interest. Now with the latest edi­tions – annot­ated hyper­links, Typekit fonts, and more options – I’m just about sat­is­fied … though not com­pletely so.

Here we have Jim DeVona com­ing in to pick up the slack with McRead­ab­il­ity. Just swap out a single CSS file in your Read­ab­il­ity book­mark and you too can enjoy mul­tiple column read­ing. I’m still not 100% happy but until I get around to build­ing one just for me, this will do fine.

Here at Super­pos­i­tion Kitty we want to make things look good.

We’re a Dun­dee based mul­tidiscip­lin­ary team with a focus on web design and devel­op­ment, graphic design, copy­writ­ing and typo­graphy.

We offer a pro­fes­sional, ded­ic­ated ser­vice and believe that good design should be the stand­ard — not the exception.

Web Design & Devel­op­ment
Super­pos­i­tion Kitty are involved in all levels of the web design and devel­op­ment pro­cess, from the ori­ginal sketch to the final code. This means no out­sourcing of files to India for cheap — yet messy and often invalid — coding.

Web devel­op­ment is con­sti­tuted of both front-end — HTML, JavaS­cript, and CSS amongst oth­ers — and back-end cod­ing — PHP, and Ruby on Rails etc.

We are highly pro­fi­cient in all of the tech­no­lo­gies men­tioned here, as well as many of the pop­u­lar Con­tent Man­age­ment Sys­tems (CMS’s) in use today — such as Word­Press (the CMS on which this site is built). If what you’re look­ing for isn’t men­tioned here then feel free to con­tact us — Super­pos­i­tion Kitty posses a wide range of cod­ing skills and are always happy to help.
