Web Stuff

When I first set up this site, cascading stylesheets (css) did little more than control which font you used and how hyperlinks were displayed. Sites were designed using table layouts, and Flash was being used everywhere to impress everyone, or make you dizzy, depending on your point of view. As for browsers, it was Internet Explorer or bust pretty much.

Nowadays the eye candy has calmed down, Flash is a psuedo programming langauge, and table layouts are so last century. Css is king (if only the browsers wouldn't interpret standards in different ways!). Talking of browsers, Firefox has taken advantage of Microsoft's indifference to a new version of IE, and has pinched 10% of the market from them.

So sites I design these days tend to be css driven, such as Jonathan and David Fawcett's sites on the right. It has also meant an update to this site, as practice makes perfect. For an example of an old school table layout site, look at Fenwick Engineering.

If you are interested in a simple, well constructed site, contact me. I can also arrange secure, reliable site hosting if you wish.
