Pages written in my own time, I aim to make maximally
accessible to all, by using a simple portable HTML subset
that should run on all browsers. avoiding problematic feature
in many newer HTML extensions. (However customers sometimes
want & get more complex stuff for their other sites.)
Just Simple Text & Pictures.
I avoid features that make web access annoying, problematic,
browser dependent, slow, troublesome, operating systems
dependent, inefficient, and privacy intrusive etc, EG:
None Of This:
- Animated graphics, Pop up adverts,
Flashing/Blinking.
- Assumptions of screen pixel dimensions &
density,
- Background graphics,
- Click-able maps (maybe you don't have a mouse & are
in text mode, or even a blind user using a line display
adaptor).
- Cookies,
- Counters & Trace Loggers (EG triggered on
gifs).,
- Forced font sizes styles &,
- Forced colours,
- Checks that you have 32K+ colours in your palette, when
you mostly need no more than in use already.
- Dark blue or red fonts on black backgrounds,
- Frames,
- Language Extensions: Java, Php, etc,
- Plug Ins: Shockwave etc,
- Proprietary formats EG Micro$oft's excremental .doc
& .exe.
If You Want Entertainment, Flash, & Glitz on your pages
- If you'r looking for glitz on my pages:
Go to a disco or cinema instead ;-)
- If you want to pay me enough money,
I or associates could apply various advanced web features to your pages, but probably best Not to !
- Blinkered authors styling themselves web page Designers
often have fun with lots of new features, & like to present
themselves as valuable with new tricks; But they don't often
neither realise nor advise
sommisioning web page owners:
-
Overloading un-necessary feautures can result in
obstructing browsing for people with older or different hardware &
software, &
increaseing the risk of breakage & costs
of testing on a wide range of browsers.
