And so it begins...

With programs like Dreamweaver, coding HTML by hand can become a lost art. And that is exactly the task we are undertaking at this very moment. Something very simple can quickly become something very complex. The layout, colors, borders, links, and media can all work in unison towards a user friendly design theme or concept, or they can all wreak havoc by creating a visual mess and ultimately frustrate the web user. A good user experience will always bring them back. First impressions are everything; would you ever want to come back to a really crappy site? Chances are slim.

Creating a uniform experience is also important. Not all web browsers support all types of elements. What may work in Internet Explorer may not work or show up in Firefox, Safari, or Chrome. Does the browser support images? Now a days yes, but it’s not guaranteed and a good site should be prepared for such cases. Planning for the worst case scenario is a good way at looking at it. We want the best possible site using the latest and most innovative technologies, but we have to be careful to make sure those practices and technologies are supported by the browsers.
