HTML 5 is Coming

HTML 5 Is Coming

Are you ready to adapt?

HTML 5 is going to herald some of the biggest changes to the internet and therefore web development agencies, since the introduction of the 3G phone and mobile browsing. Combining elements of HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.01 and capable of standing in for both, HTML 5 will soon be the standard across most internet browsers.

What can HTML 5 do and how is it going improve my website?

  • Greater integration with APIs – 2D and 3D graphics will be easier to implement with better performance.
  • Timed media playback – Music and video files from separate sources would be able to start streaming or playing in synchronicity.
  • Drag and drop – Just like on your desktop, but on the internet! Customers could physically drag items to their shopping baskets on a website rather than clicking buttons and manually setting a quantity.
  • HD video – There will be greater support for high definition video and improved performance through web browsers.
  • Interactivity – With the correct plug-ins people could doodle on or leave notes on websites for the next time they visit.

Adopting and experimenting with HTML 5 features early may give you an edge over your competitors. Some of the new features may prove to be key elements in driving the Web 3.0 (r)evolution, and the online world has a habit of rewarding the forward thinkers who are ahead of the curve. With the internet as prevalent as ever now might be the time to consult with an e-commerce company or web development agency, as to how you can make sure HTML 5 has a strong impact on your website while moving ahead into the future with your business. More often than not the first impression people have of a company comes from its website, and if a website it is at the forefront of innovation it will invariably give the impression that the said company’s product or service is cutting-edge.
