HTML 5 / CSS3

HTML 5 / CSS3

HTML5 is the latest version of HTML and XHTML. The HTML5 standard defines a single language that can be written in HTML and XML. It attempts to solve issues found in previous iterations of HTML and addresses the needs of Web Applications, an area previously not adequately covered by HTML. Whether you want to draw on a canvas, play video, design better forms, or build web applications that work offline, you'll find that HTML5 is already well-supported. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and mobile browsers already support canvas, video, geolocation, local storage, and more. Google already supports microdata annotations. Even Microsoft - rarely known for blazing the trail of standards support - will be supporting most HTML5 features in the upcoming versions of Internet Explorer. Demos

CSS is Cascading Style Sheets. CSS are those files which tell the web browsers the ways to display HTML pages that is how your web pages should look. Cascading Style Sheets provides you control over fonts, styles, background color and style, etc. Moreover, CSS has made web designing easier and less time consuming. With the advent of CSS3 and HTML5, the most important thing that has come to everyone’s notice is that adding videos to a web page has become easier. HTML5 even allows you to watch videos without any plug-ins (for example Flash). Flash slows down the computer but with HTML5, this feature is added from the beginning. HTML5 is the best major version of HTML tol date.

CSS3 and HTML5 help in creating animations and games and that too without Flash. HTML5 also provides web applications the ability to store information even if you are working offline. HTML5 and CSS3 together help in making your web pages more attractive as compared to a simple HTML page. The added features available with the two are wrapping to the text, stroke and shadow to the text, rounded corners, direct web fonts, multiple backgrounds, background clipping, box shadow and resizing, direct web fonts, opacity, and much more.

Live Customer Support

Mywebguy Image Gallery Applications

It's all about Customer Service! Provide live customer support software for your web site that enables visitors to instantaneously communicate with your customer service personnel. Web site visitors simply click a Live Support button and are connected with one of your customer service representatives. Your company representative then assists the visitor by providing information, links, graphics, or even guiding them through your web site.

  1. It runs on your own site under your complete domain and control. Absolute Live Support is not a a hosted service, you receive the full application for installing on your own site.
  2. There's no need to install any client application. Provide real-time customer service support from any computer, anywhere with web access. You just need your web browser!
  3. No built-in limit as to the number of representatives and departments that you can have, get your whole staff to deliver support with the system!
  4. Can help you close the sale with customers who may be skeptical about purchasing online. Your live, personal attention demonstrates your commitment to providing great customer service. An opportune answer from one of your live support representatives may be just what your visitors need to close the sale!
  5. Your representatives can handle concurrent multiple calls instead of being limited to one conversation. By providing assistance online, you do not incur in any telephone charges, thus lowering your phone bills drastically.

We use Live Support in our own site - if no one is available, a user can still send a form based message directly to the support queue and can expect an answer just as if they had used our regular "Contact Us" form.


Client-side Form Validation

Mywebguy Client-Side Form Validation

JavaScript is very useful when it comes to checking HTML forms for valid entries. You can check that your visitors have filled in your forms correctly before they're transmitted over the Internet. The scripts are often activated when the Submit button is pressed. If there's a fault, they supress the transimission of the form contents and show an error message.

When you have a form on a web page, you’ll most likely find the need to validate the values a user enters. Client-side validation has advantages for the server, the user and the developer.

Validating forms on the client side lightens the load on the server and allows for you to format data before it is sent for processing. Because validation takes place on the client machine, there’s no delay from the client contacting a remote server. Besides the user getting a quicker response, network bandwidth and server processing power are both conserved.
