Reliance on current, standards-compliant design and coding

Every Logicpoint website is developed to strict, up-to-date design and coding standards as set by the W3C and endorsed by all browser manufacturers including Microsoft, Netscape, and Opera. These standards ensure predictable rendering across browsers and platforms, visually rich presentation layers, enhanced usability through clear coding and fast downloads, and ease of creation and maintenance.

Our tools include extensive CSS (including CSS-2 for positioning and layout), lean, modular XHTML, rigidly tested PHP for back-end functionality and interactivity. Our use of these tools means that your site will look great in any standards-compliant browser, will load fast, and is capable of capturing and manipulating a wide array of data from your customers.

CSS for your site's look and feel

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the code which gives your site its unique palette, typeface, and layout characteristics. By leaving formatting and design code out of our HTML, we can quickly construct modular pages and implement most design parameters in a single CSS file which is then applied to every page on the site. Don't like the font used for headlines on each page? A single line changed in the CSS file changes all of them.

And CSS is not new or experimental. The specifications were published 6 years ago by the W3C and have been supported for years by the major browser manufacturers, including Netscape and Microsoft. Our own site relies on CSS for both formatting and layout.

Valid CSS

XHTML for backward and forward compatibility

We code to XHTML 1.0 Transitional specs rather than the older HTML 4.0 (which was never approved by the W3C governing body). In a nutshell, this means our HTML code is tight, lean, well-documented, and thoroughly tested in both white-box and black-box environments. The code will execute in older (4x and higher), current (6x) and future browsers. Our own site is W3C-validated XHTML.

Valid XHTML 1.0!

PHP and MySQL for a rich dynamic and interactive user experience

PHP is a server-side language used to manipulate data, files, forms, and to do other interactive tasks. In conjunction with the powerful open-source database MySQL, PHP allows us to capture valuable customer information on your website, create a more personalized and interactive experience for your customers, and to provide you with pertinent customer data. We can also create password-protected administrative and reporting tools for your site, which will allow you to see who's showing up, who is requesting information, and which of your product marketing is working and which isn't.

Partnerships

We partner with Verio. Our development and hosting environment is the FreeBSD version of Unix. Unix is the Internet's stable backbone, insuring peerless security and stability, as well as state-of-the-art server software

Apache web server

Apache is the standard to which all web servers aspire. More than half of all the sites on the Internet rely on the fast, transparent and secure Apache to deliver their pages to their customers.

Standard and web-based email accounts

Unix's Sendmail program handles all our clients' email needs. You can access your mailboxes and user profiles either via the web or using your regular email program such as Outlook or Eudora.
