Technologies that power our products

Here at Imperative Design we believe your products are only as good as the technologies that run them.
That is why we use the most cutting edge of products that get your jobs done as efficiently as possible. What does this mean for your websites? This means that they get better over time instead of looking more and more antiquated. How does that work? This is done on the principle of “progressive enhancement”. That is summed up by saying we push your web browser to the edge, using all of the most prominent features that it can take advantage of, and what it can’t, we build in back up design that it can fall back to. The result is, faster loading, slicker looking, attention grabbing web pages that are current.

Below are some of the technologies that we are proud to feature when developing our projects

• HTML5: The web is built on HTML. It runs and powers every site out there. From the fortune five hundred companies to the small mom and pop shops, HTML is the one ring that rules them all ( Pardon the nerd humor ). So what does the 5 in HTML5 mean? How is it different from before? click here to find out.
• CSS3: If HTML is the skeleton then CSS is then skin, cologne, and makeup of your website. It makes it look pretty. From aligning pictures, creating colors, and moving things around, modern life on the web couldn’t exists without CSS. What is so great about CSS3 as opposed to regular CSS? Read some more about this
• jQuey ( JavaScript ): In keeping with our analogy. HTML is the skeleton, CSS is the skin, and JavaScript is the personality. JavaScript is responsible for many of the cool enhancements that we have come to expect. Gone are the days when you click a link and have to watch a page reload to get some simple content. Gone are the days when using Mapquest, each time you zoom in you have to wait for the page to reload. This is done thanks to JavaScript. It uses a tool it has called AJAX to make web applications behave like desktop applications. So when you fill out a form and it tells you what you did wrong before you send it, or when you click a link and see something interactive happen, you are living in the JavaScript world.
• PHP: You have heard about the skeleton, the skin, and the personality. Now meet the brain. PHP is the brain that powers your website, your contact forms and more. It is what is known as a server side technology. Without it you would be unable to do much of what you see done on the web today.
• WordPress: Managing your website will never be the same again.
  WordPress is a full fledged content management system. What started as a simple tool to do great blogging has emerged as the king of the CMS’s, also known as content management system.
  
  What does that mean? In the pre content management system era if you wanted to change a picture on your website, update some simple text, or do other minor changes, you would have to have called a web development company. In today’s modern CMS driven world, all you have to do is log in to your WordPress site or other CMS and with the click of a few buttons you get things updated. WordPress gives you a simple word processor type of back end from which to write your content. If you can type an email you can work WordPress
