If you agree that a good answer is “no” then you might want to consider letting ClickNathan build your site. “Why?” is a great follow up question, and I’ll tell you.
I build sites that are the latest and greatest, using technologies and methods that will keep your site fresh, technologies like:
- XHTML. This is the basic meat and potatoes of your site. If HTML was the state-of-the-art mobile home in 1994, XHTML is the futuristic mansion of today. It’s the difference between your site losing value the minute it comes off of the lot or preparing for everything the Web has (and will have) to offer.
- CSS. Cascading Style Sheets separate your site’s design from its code. It allows your site’s look to easily be updated when you want it to be, and work on regardless of what browser your users are visiting with. Plus, with CSS, you can have one website that works on computers, cell phones, and PDAs. Again, future-proofing.
- PHP. This is an open-source programming language that gives your site all of the cool features that users expect from websites, without all of the costly overhead.
- Flash. While, in many ways, Flash is still ahead of its time (for one, search engines and Flash don’t play together all that well), using the technology sparingly and appropriately can give your visitors the TV experience they know and love, while keeping you closer to the Google logo.
