Website Compatibility Across All Browsers

Although the day to day internet viewer may see choosing a browser as a trivial task, website developers see this wide variety of selections as a rather large challenge. Many browsers interperet code differently. Internet Explorer being the toughest to code for, especially Internet Explorer 6.0 and earlier versions (If you are currently using Internet Explorer 6.0 you should update your browser to experience the World Wide Web in its full potential). The top browsers that people use include the following: Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Opera. My top choices would be Firefox, Safari and Chrome . About 20% of a developer's total time when creating a website is making it compatible with Internet Explorer 6.0. Although it can be a pain, it is something that has to be done in order to cater to your diverse audience. Even though it is a SEVERELY outdated browser, about one fourth of your viewers will be using it. Luckily for you, I have the experience and know-how to make your website compatible so that it will look perfect across all browsers.

Interactive Javascript Effects

Don't want a boring point-and-click website? Let's kick it up a notch with JQuery. JQuery is a very versatile Javascript library makes stunning website effects possible. It can allow for a more interactive and fun user experience. An example of a javascript effect is my Contact tab at the top of this page. You'll notice the smooth sliding transition over the length of the website. Just one click and it slides back up. Ask me about what creative Javascript effects we can use on your website.
