About This Web Site
You probably don't want to hire us for your beautiful marketing web sites - graphic design is not our core speciality. But you would be making a great choice to have Ipsilon Consulting check your intranet, mobile web pages or CMS front ends for security, standards compatibility, mobile experience and graceful degradation on inferior browsers.
This site is hand-coded HTML. It really does work best in standards-based browsers. We believe in mobility. The site is optimized for:
- Safari (iPhone, PC and Mac)
- Google Android phone platform
- Nokia Eseries and Nseries phones
- Firefox
- Opera (mostly on phones)
Internet Explorer support is provided by a number of JavaScript libraries. This is a great way to upgrade older IE browsers on the fly. Pages will render more slowly on IE6 in particular, but for a ten year old browser, we think that this is the best compromise. Users accept that older machines work more slowly, but do not easily accept obviously broken web pages. Coding in this way also means that the site works well on screen-readers and braille devices for the blind. Web design involves compromises and we think that preferring diverse platforms, mobility and special-needs browser access is the better choice for the modern Internet.
