HTML5 web, mobile, and application development

ShareShare

HTML5 is a new way to build web pages, that will revolutionize the online world and provide an incredible user experience.

HTML5 is designed to deal with the latest functional requirements, such as support for multimedia formats, within the browser itself, so users no longer need to download and use plug-in software. HTML5 supports:

  • Enhanced context menus
  • Direct-mode graphics canvas
  • Full duplex client-server communication channel
  • Improved semantics
  • Embedded audio and video tags
  • Various features for offline Web applications
  • Sandboxed iframes
  • Scoped styling

Because HTML5 development is based on open-source standards, creating content and application for it doesn't require licenses for proprietary software, so it’ll be cheaper too.

Searchability

It is going to be easier to search for rich media and interactive content presented with HTML5 services. Each component, such as an animated sequence for example, will be labelled. That means for developers that HTML5 pages will have a lot of descriptive metadata, that is easy for a search engine to read.

HTML5 vs. Flash

By comparison, the only metadata Flash files offer a search engine is the title name. Application development in HTML5, because it’s browser-based, will work on any device that accesses the Internet. Flash is also cross-platform, but because of recent opposition to it, content creators are now faced with the prospect of versioning Flash material for non-Apple and Apple products.

HTML5 for digital publishers

Developers love HTML5, because it has already won the backing of such high-profile digital players as Apple and Google as a viable alternative to Flash. Web development in HTML5 will have two major implications for publishers in the ways they put content on the Web. The first is that ensuring HTML5 compliance of services will become more important. The second is that interactive and rich media will be cheaper to produce. 

HTML5 in mobile devices

HTML5 provides mobile device users richer web applications and improved usability. The new features of HTML5 standardize the use cases and technologies that are common in smartphone-optimized mobile web applications.

With mobile development in HTML5, advanced web application features are available in all mobile browsers supporting the markup language, using the same standard syntax and displaying the same standard behaviour. We can ensure your website will be compatible with the iPhone and iPad, or give it a new life on other mobile platforms.
