The greatest challenge facing web developers for the last few years has been cross-browser compatibility.
Traditionally, websites would be built for whichever browser the developer preferred to the detriment of users of alternative browsers; subsequently, developers learned to be more inclusive and built different sites for different web browsers or tweaked their sites to be compatible.
In the future, the problems of cross-browser compatibility will be largely solved by the adherence of new versions of the major web browsers to ratified web standards such as XHTML and CSS2. In the interim period, though, the extra effort must be made by website developers to ensure backward compatibility with older web browsers for the benefit of those users still using them.
With no two of the current handful of web browsers on the market likely to display an unoptimized website in the same way, it is a painful and laborious process to incrementally redesign a website to cater for the faults of certain browser implementations.
Sygneca have invested several man-years of time in developing standard solutions to the most common browser compatibility problems encountered with the current popular web browsers, whilst maintaining XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0 compliance.
