    More Info

  • Web Standards
    More Info
  • Why web standards?

    The web is such a fast-moving environment that keeping up to date with the latest developments is really the only way to stay on top. Keeping to current web standards is a great way to ensure that people of all abilities and on all devices can get something out of your website, and keeps you one pace ahead of your competitors.

  • HTML5 / CSS3
    More Info
  • What is HTML5 and CSS3?

    These are the latest developments in web standards. HTML5 is aimed at de-cluttering websites and providing a more structured layout. CSS3 gives more flexibility to styling, to avoid ugly workarounds. I endeavour to adhere to both these standards in all my web work.
