Web Standards
An advantage of working with me is that I emphasize the importance of web standards when building websites/applications. I follow them closely because not only is it good practice, but it helps give a wider audience, increasing accessibility, and help search engines crawl your site better. It's important to understand that the visually impaired browse the web also, (using special software), and users use different browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc). I try to make my work compatible to most popular browsers and as accessible as possible.
