It HTML Time!
I know, I know. I haven’t blogged in months about the status of our site. I haven’t done a lot of things, but I just got really, reallly happy when I realized that we where finally started our HTML markup. For those that don’t know, html is HyperText Markup Language.
What?
It’s the language that describes how to render a web page in a browser.
And it’s time that we started the work. This project has been a real long process, but now that we have all of our Sunbrella and Outdurda fabric, as well as some polyester prints, and some olefins, we’ve got what is going to be the Largest Patio Umbrella program in history put together, and it’s going to be alot of fun putting together.
Now, we’re not ready to rollout the site, we’re just putting the HTML together, the building blocks of how the website will actually layout on your computer screen, and we are trying to make it as cross-browser compatible as possible. We are using alot of CSS, but, and we don’t wan’t to dissappoint a lot of xhtml/css junkies out there, we’re using a base table design as the most basic, basic, basic outline. We’re forced to because of our e-commerce engine, so please don’t picket us. It’s one of the tenets of do it wrong quickly. It’s high time we get out there, and as soon as possible.
But ooohh, it’s getting fun now.
