- Human Coded Human Coded, Hand Crafted Human coded, hand coded, or hand crafted means the code for sites Alama net Web Design creates is written directly, rather than using intermediaries like software programs, kits or templates. This has a variety of advantages, one of which is giving a website a handmade, unique feel. I am also willing to work with open source programs like WordPress adding hand coding to fine tune.
- HTML5 Structure and Presentation From the beginning, HTML has been the core scripting language of the web. HTML5 is its newest incarnation. Growing up side by side with smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, screen-readers and other accessibility devices, HTML5 is singularly suited for new millennium computing. HTML5 lets web developers create advanced graphics, typography, animations and transitions. This website is written in HTML5.
Detailed yet simple exploration of HTML5 and its advantages - CSS1~3 For Style and Elegance If HTML structures a web page, CSS adds style, refinement, and elegance. CSS3, its newest maturation, takes this refinement to a new level, providing effects like shadows, transparencies, backgrounds, and rounded edges that have never before been possible in web design without using cumbersome graphic files or JavaScript. Being a child of new millennium computing, CSS3, as with HTML5, goes hand in hand with the mobile web, accessibility, and the future.
- PHP For Under the Hood Functionality The .php at the end of this page's web address (URL) shows this website was created using the PHP scripting language. PHP can power shopping carts, blogs, BBS systems and much more. On this website it imparts consistency and uniformity. PHP makes it easy to make changes should changes be necessary, saving precious time for the designer. Using PHP makes it easy to integrate PHP Content Management Systems (CMS) as WordPress, making for smooth and easy integration of a blog within a website.

Creation and design of websites in other languages or a mixture of languages including East Asian two-byte languages such as Japanese is made possible by Unicode.
