The current site is built using ASP (Active Server Pages). All pages have been coded by hand in MS Visual Studio.
DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
i feel this is the best DTD as it doesn't support elements to be phased out later and gives a much better standard look across browsers.
Tested in the following browsers:
- IE (6.0, 7.0.5)
- Mozilla Firefox (3.0.11)
- Opera (9.01)
- Netscape (7.02)
I've performed several tests so far on the site and I'm sure there are more to do but so far:
- CSS tested
- XHTML 1.0 Strict tested (the button on the footer of each page will link to the correct validation page.)
I’m sure I’m not the only freelance website developer who has developed many sites for others over the years but when it comes to developing my own website, well, not enough time, never quite happy with the design and so on! Here’s where the site has been over the years:
version: v6.0 date: 2006
version: v5.0 date: 2004
version: v4.0 date: 2002
version: v3.0 date: 2002
version: v2.0 date: 2001
version: v1.0 date: 1999
For nostalgic reasons as well as a full record of my sites I've published a fully working version of my very first site here. I say fully working but if you do have a look you will find there are a lot of blank spaces and areas which were never fully completed but its there for the record!
an archive of some of my first developments as a web developer can be found here.
