Alberto Ferrer Site Technical Specs
This site has been carefully developed in adherence to several web design standards as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3). You can learn more about these standards and the W3 itself at www.w3.org.
Markup and Programming
HTML, the markup language of the Web, has gone through several revisions and updates since its introduction. This site is compliant with the W3’s XHTML 1.1 DTD for extensible HTML.
The site is meant to be fast, so there is no use of Flash, Shockwave or any similar technology, nor there are any large, heavy images to download. In total, the site uses four very small (and lightweight) images.
Style Sheets
Style Sheets or Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are designed to allow the content of a web site to remain separate from its appearance on the page. This in turn provides for better usability on the Web, as it gives users more control over the content they see and it gives authors the ability to display their content across platforms as they intended the content to be seen.
This site is compliant with the W3’s CSS2.1 Specification for Cascading Style Sheets. This specification is the latest available. It further makes no use of HTML tables, relying only on CSS for positioning objects on each page.
Browser Compatibility
Because the standards with which this site complies are the latest available, not all web browsers in use today are capable of displaying the site as was intended. In particular, users of older browsers may have problems viewing this site as it was intended.
Tools
This site was developed using Macromedia HomeSiteTM for the HTML code and the CSS, and Adobe® Photoshop® and Adobe® ImageReadyTM for the images.
