Whether Web Developers love it or hate it, it can’t be denied that HTML 4 is the most successful markup format ever and HTML5 builds on that success.
HTML is the base to any website and has been for many years. Now HTML5 is being steadily integrated into modern projects, workflows are being streamlined, clients are receiving faster turn-arounds and because of this, ultimately the client is saving money.
So, other than saving money, why should our clients care? Well, ‘because HTML5 is going to form the underpinnings of the entire internet within a few years’.
Modern web browsers such as Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome and Mobile Browsers are already in full support, for the most part, of HTML5. Developers are already building feature-rich web applications from the technology and some are even using it to replace technologies such as Flash and even building Smartphone Apps from it. Well-known brands such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, Apple & Windows are already using and strongly advocating it.
So, to summarise, HTML5 is the future of Web and Applications as we know them. Tanka’s clients benefit from this directly, as Tanka are at the forefront of HTML5 technology and are already using it to build rich media applications for our clients. Using HTML5 allows us to build incredible new applications and even often reduces our timescales therefore saving you, the client money.
