Much of the technologies used in our site are not obvious to
the average visitor. At The Click Business we design all our sites according
to the most up to date W3C standards to ensure optimal compatibility with the
greatest number of Browsers, Browser versions, screen resolutions, and monitor
sizes and types.
Web Design is inherently restrictive at low data transfer rates.
The Internet itself varies in speed at certain times of the day. Our average
target page load time is less than one second at 56KB per second modem speed.
To achieve this, optimisation of every element of the page is necessary to achieve
a balance between quality and speed of access.
Towards XML Compliance
Web pages traditionally contained text, images and formatting information for
the Browser to render the pages accurately on screen. As the Web becomes of
age these elements will be handled outside the page with much of the older formatting
code becoming obsolete (Deprecated). New and Redesigned sites will need to be
written to accomodate these changes, in time new Browser versions will not be
able to read older sites designed entirely in HTML Code.
Towards Accessibility Compliance
This Site has access coding for some speech browsers used by blind people, and
pages optimised for the partially sighted. Browser detection will issue pages
suitable for the user, users will soon be able to automatically configure pages
according to their preference, for example, if they are colour blind. Web Sites
will shortly detect the language preference of the user, automatically translating
the text into their preferred language.
Content, Presentation and Logic
Traditionally an HTML page will contain all of these functionalities. The new
Sites will need to seperate these functionalities using new technologies such
as:
Content - Database Management System
Presentation - Cascading Style Sheets
Logic - Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) or
(XML)
