CSS and HTML ~ Our Solar System

An experiment with CSS3 border-radius, transforms & animations.

Animation properties currently only work on -webkit browsers (Chrome or Safari).

This is an attempt to recreate our solar system using CSS3 features such as border-radius, transforms and animations. The result is surprising and quite interesting.

This is truly and amazing example of what can be created using css and html. Hats off to Alex Giron.

And I love this quote:

Yep, in the eyes of Inter net Explorer our uni verse is flat and boring.

Post it Notes

Just an idea to present quotes.

Web Accessibility

“The issue in Web accessibility is the fact that blind and visually-impaired people need the single biggest boost to achieve equivalence, since the real-world Web is a visual medium.” Joe Clark

Not merely building websites but building businesses. Websites should be an integral part of your business plan. It’s easy to want to create a website because other businesses have one. But you should ask yourself some questions.

What is web accessibility and why you should care? An accessible website is more than designing for people with visual or physical impairment. An accessible website is designed to web standards which means one design works everywhere – computer, mobile, PDA, webTV. An accessible and web standards compliant website gets more attention from search engines such as Google.

Bytes or is bites?

“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can’t utter.” James Earl Jones

Bytes or is it bites? Ram, cpu, graphics, networking, processors, etc. It is another language! As a company we specialise in many forms of computing, web design, repairs, system building, networking, but mostly we specialise in keeping the language jargon free and uncomplicated.

“Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action”.

Does your website reflect your business?

“My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people’s” Oscar Wilde

Does your website reflect your business, values and products? For many companies and organisations their Web site is now an important part of the way they do business. It could be the first point of contact and therefore needs to clearly reflect your business, values and its products.

There are two essential elements to a good Web site. Firstly, the functionality and programming that builds the site. Easy navigation, validating code and simplicity of use. Secondly, it needs to look good and feature innovative design.

You need to ensure that the site viewers have a memorable visit and that you encourage the viewer to explore beyond the home page.

Early Websites Page

Not merely building websites but building businesses. Websites should be an integral part of your business plan. It’s easy to want to create a website because other businesses have one. But you should ask yourself some questions.

The first question to ask is why do you want a website? Websites exist for many purposes – from simple contact information through to a complete customer information, sales and management system. Setting down a clear answer to the simple question: “Why do I want a website?” starts the whole process off with clarity. The answer may change as you see what is possible, but start with the answer that is right for now.

What do you want your website to achieve? You need to create a “shopping list” of what it is you want your website to actually say or do. What functions do you want it, or could it, fulfill to save you time and money? Do you want it to give information, collect information, sell stuff, change opinions or what?

Who is going to keep it up-to-date? Question: What could be worse than having no website? Answer: Having a website with out-of-date information. Consider how you will keep your website fresh with relevant and attractive content? How to achieve this painlessly.

You decided to get a web site but need further information. These pages touch on some questions you might have. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

First comes the exciting part… What shall we call our site? What is the purpose of the site? Collect together as much information as you can. How many pages will the site contain? Do we intend to sell using the site?

In these early stages the more information you can gather, the better your site will become. Don’t just forget though the site is not just about content, it is also about design. Company colours? etc… But don’t worry, Cregy can help with all aspects of the site design.

Richard Brown the owner has been involved in computing since 1984. “I Enjoyed early Macs and then moved into PCs when British Rail bought me a super-computer containing a massive 16mb hard drive with 4mb of Ram. I finally moved away from windows when Windows 98 was released switching to Linux. It gave me the opportunity to understand and an appreciation for Unix prompting a return to Apple”.

Beyond business Richard enjoys life. Easy going and relaxed, at heart he loves people. “As a Christian, I am thankful for the gift of life and as a family man, I am thankful for the love shared with my wife, Anna, and my daughter, Abigail”.
