Web Design Standards and Technologies

Technology By Robert K. Foster

Current and future web sites designed by the Windjammer Company, LLC are created with standards compliant code based on XHTML, CSS, RSS, and ATOM to insure multiple browser compatibility.

Expression Engine

For "Live" and Interactive websites we use a software package based on the PHP language called ExpressionEngine. In order to run ExpressionEngine your web server must support:

• At least 10 MB of space.
• PHP version 4.1 or newer.
• MySQL version 3.23.32 or newer.
• PHP must have XML support.
• Your server must have the following MySQL grant privileges (for tables): CREATE, ALTER, DROP.
• Your MySQL server must not be running in Strict mode.
• To take advantage of the image thumbnailing feature your server must support one of the three image manipulation protocols: GD, ImageMagick, NetPBM.

You can find the most recent requirements for the EE package on the ExpressionEngine website at: http://expressionengine.com/overview/requirements/
