Designzoo's
Current Browser Support Level: 95%
Designzoo’s
development strategy provides browser support to a vast
majority of used browsers, with a focus on emerging technologies
and trends. We focus on cross-browser compatibility among
our supported browser set, and do so by employing web
design standards set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C). http://www.w3.org We achieve this at no additional cost to our clientele. Additional
support for browsers not normally catered to can be implemented,
just ask, and an estimate for development will be provided.

* “Not supported” Does not necessarily mean your site will not view in these browsers. We simply do not test nor modify the site (if there are issues) to view acceptably in the browser.

A site with graphics and images that are not properly optimized
will load slower than its' optimized counter-part. In addition,
images that are poorly optimized will look dull and distorted.
By eliminating load-times and keeping you images vivid, your
site will exude a confident brand and a positive experience
for every viewer.
Usability
& W3C Standards:
In
addition, our development process addresses browser-independent
usability implications that include the use of assistive
technologies to access website information (people that are
visually impaired), and people that choose to disable functions
provided by layers of integrated and additional technologies.
We
do this by developing under the guidelines set by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and abiding by standards set forth,
determining the valid use of the HTML language. The W3C is
the governing body of the Internet providing protocol standards
and mandates of site development. Sites may be validated
at this address: http://validator.w3.org/ You
will note that out site does not validate. This is beacsue
this site is over 3 years old and we are too busy making sure
our clients are up-to-date.
Furthermore,
we utilize development techniques that do not employ HTML
as a presentational tool alone, assuring that our markup
remains free of non-informative data. We do not use data
tables as a method of page layout, rather we reserve the
implementation of tables for their intended use: displaying
tabular data. Using tables for layout, makes HTML documents
virtually inaccessible to people who require assistive technologies
to view websites.
Additional
Layers of integrated technologies are implemented in an unobtrusive
manner, as not to compromise the functionality or usability
of the site, as it would stand without these technologies
activated. This methodology is applied in the highest degree,
when ever possible.
