Web Design Technology

Feratech believes in a back to basics approach to technology. We may have two years of development in complex database-backed websites (see our technical capabilities for details), and the technology that powers them, but we like to build our sites for the users, not our engineers. We build sites that are easy for the user to use, and fast for their browser to render, because Feratech focuses on the basics as well as the advanced engineering.

HTML and XHTML

One of the main advantages that Feratech offers its clients is the use of valid HTML. Such technology is the first step in creating accessible pages. Invalid markup, meanwhile, affects document portability, interoperability, and the future value of your content. Organizations risk making their documents obsolete by not ensuring that their web documents adhere to the HTML specification. By working to the HTML specification you make it easier to transport HTML documents to others for revision and re-purposing. XHTML, conversely, is used with new browsers.

Java Script

Java Script is a user interface scripting language developed by Netscape for its Navigator and Communicator World Wide Web browsers. Java Script source code is embedded in HTML documents, and is interpreted by a World Wide Web browser.

Flash

Feratech also is able to provide our clients with Flash components either in one section or throughout the entire site. Flash is a multimedia tool commonly used to create animations and web pages for the site. Flash can add a lot of animation and movement to an otherwise still site.

Cascading Style Sheets

CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, is a data format used by Feratech to separate style and structure on Web pages. With CSS, style information can be centralized. This centralization leads to increased power and flexibility. With cascading style sheets, designers are able to use tags to reference a style rather than describe it at each instance. Then, when a style needs to be changed, only the referenced declarations need to be changed, not all of the instances where it is used.
