Technology vs. Usability

When JV Media Design was formed,repparttar year was 1995 andrepparttar 105956 Internet was a very different place than it is today.

The first websites we created used simple layouts, a modest amount of graphics, standard "web safe" colors, and no javascript. This was all done in an attempt to create websites that worked well withrepparttar 105957 browsers ofrepparttar 105958 time (namely, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator).

Asrepparttar 105959 years went by, technology rapidly changed, and so didrepparttar 105960 web. Soon enough, javascript was standard procedure to create "roll over" effects on buttons, to scroll text, and lots more. Web pages got more graphically intense, and using audio and Flash was a brand new frontier.

Ten years have now passed and keeping up withrepparttar 105961 technology and trends is still a major priority for us. When it was once unheard of to include Flash in web pages, it is now become standard practice. But there is such a thing as "too much of a good thing".

We strive to create web pages that blend technologies together to createrepparttar 105962 best user experience. When it was once accepted to incorporate a Flash "splash" page on a site, it is now looked upon as an extraneous step that most visitors will click through. Attention spans have shortened to a mere matter of seconds onrepparttar 105963 web, and putting your uses through a Flashy presentation just to have a "wow" factor can be more detrimental than beneficial.
