Hand Coding of HTML...

Many packages such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage allow developers to create "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) designs. Unfortunately, these packages often create "bloated" or non-optimised code, which leads to longer download times and inefficient web sites.

Many of these packages don't create code compatible with all browsers or browser versions.

Through the use of correct HTML 4.0 coding standards and code libraries, I can quickly design optimised code which is compatible with a wide variety of browsers and browser versions ¹.

If you are designing an Intranet or Extranet for example, you may find that all of your visitors are using a standardised browser - which will reduce development time considerably.

1 -- I recommend coding for IE 5.5 (and above) and Netscape 6 (and above) with graceful degradation on older versions.
