HTML5 and CSS3 Advantages

Internet is one of the fastest evolving entities to have ever been known to mankind. A decade back having a website or rather an online address was a symbol of pride for most businesses. These websites were with a few images and text put together. Today websites are visually much more attractive, informative and engaging – thanks to advancement in web design technology. The advent of advanced technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3 have given web design and development a completely new dimension. Let us take a look at some of the advantages that HTML5 and CSS3 bring to your business and why you should make use of these technologies for your business.

A lot of the coding process has been automated in HTML5 using which you can develop easily readable codes. Apart from this HTML5 generates clean semantic codes which make it easy for search engine crawlers to index your website ensuring you higher rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs).

• Offline Storage : This is one of the biggest advantages that HTML5/CSS3 brings to you. The new technology has the ability to cache emails, texts, images and other content on a local computer which can be used while browsing the website in the offline mode or when there is regular interruptions in connectivity. This advanced cache also helps reestablish connection faster between the client and the server as only the changes are updated rather than the entire cache.

• Browser Compatibility : It is one of the major issues which a developer has to deal with while creating a website and with HTML5 and CSS3 by your side your website will be compatible across all major mobile and web browsers. It also allows you the option to make use of fallback content for non-supporting browsers. Thus your website will be accessible to almost all Internet users in the world.

• Customization and Uniformity : Cascading Style Sheet has always been known to bring in uniformity to a website and CSS3 gives you more control over the appearance of your website. With this robust technology you can easily customize stock page elements within the website. It gives you increased control over colors, gradients and shadow effects which add to the visual appeal of the website.

• Videos and Audio : Today’s websites have come a long way from the days of image and text based websites as they include a lot of content in the form of audio and video. Prior to HTML5 and CSS3 developers had to make use of third-party applications such as Flash to integrate audio/video content but HTML5 allows you to integrate them seamlessly. Apart from this you can also create high-quality drawings, charts and rich content on your website using this platform.

• Geolocation : One of the most talked about features of HTML5 is Geolocation, which allows you to make the website smarter and serve a visitor’s exact needs. This allows the client’s location to be detected based on his/her permission. This also allows you to present the visitor with a highly customized webpage which relates to his/her exact needs.
