 What Does "Support" Mean?

The web medium is such that web pages cannot be produced in such a way as to be uniformly rendered in ALL browsers. Two users using different browser software will not have an identical experience and this also fails to embrace or acknowledge the heterogeneous essence of the Web.

An appropriate support strategy allows every user to consume as much visual and interactive richness as their environment can support.

Browser Support provides an inclusive definition of support and a framework for the ever-expanding world of browsers and frontend technologies.

Web Standards

Standardisation of web browsers is still to be achieved. The quest for standardising source code and the manner in which web browsers interpret it, has been led by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). The support amongst the community of web developers for standardisation has come to be known as the 'Web Standards' movement.

I'm The Black Sheep adheres to Web Standards so as to produce web pages that can be viewed by the greatest number of people possible. This approach builds a rich experience on top of an accessible core, without compromising that core so as to provide a consistent experience for all users (as consistently as can reasonably be achieved).
