Web design and development

Phat Reaction specializes in making the most perfect html for the task in hand. Taking into account such aspects as accessibility, SEO and speed, Phat Reaction creates websites that adheres to the standards while pushing the boundaries of technology.

Web Development and Adaptation

• Truly semantic xHTML where all design is from CSS alone
• Ceating xHTML sites that very closely mirror the Flash site
• Ceating sites that are accessible
• Tuning webservers and network communications
• SEO ready sites
• Ajax enabled implementations including MS, prototype and scriptaculous
• Design or Re-design your site

Having been involved with the internet since 1994, we have seen it grow and change. As have we constantly evolving our technology capabilities along side it.

This means that we can make truly cross-browser compatible websites that work not only on Mac and PC, but also on mobile phone, PS3, X-box, Wii, PDA or any kind of Linux device.

Our sites gracefully degrade, so that no matter what it is you cannot do, the site will still work for you to an extent. For example if you have no javascript, you should still be able to browse and purchase on a site.

Our development path

We believe in a development path that takes into account both popularity of browsers and semantic xhtml code.

1. Using your copy text create page(s) as pure semantic xhtml without inline styles, also keeping the classes and id’s to a minimum
2. Add accessibiltiy to the page as needed in the HTML
3. Confirm SEO setup of the page
4. Add external CSS to create the design, making it work first for all other browsers than IE, then adding the hacks to IE6 or IE7 where needed
5. Add javascript or ajax implementations to the page (including advanced accessibility items)
6. Cross browser test to correct any look and feel issues
7. Perform xHTML, CSS and accessibiltiy certification
8. Release to Pre-Production site to test against live database as necessary
9. Release into a Production environment

Development in PHP and .NET

We can develop we applications in php and .NET or create the front end for your application that has been created in these languages. So, either using our team of developers or your in-house team, together we can create the website that you want.

Ajax enabled sites for animations

This site has been created using Ajax to add some animations to the right column and the header area with the menu. As you can see, it makes the header appear, then the right column followed by a flash on the title in the header. In addition to the page opening animations, every page uses the same ajax framework to work the horizontal drop-down page menu.

We use Prototype (ajax framework) and Scriptaculous to create these animations.
