Update: Eco Friendly Website and Web Browser Trends

Energy Consultants Website for Carbon Management

One of our most recent assignments was to re-design a site for an Energy Conservation Consultants in Carbon Management & CO2 Emissions. Click on the following link to view the web concept design that is being converted to XHTML.

It was decided to go with a distinct colour scheme while conforming to a popular portal layout, (due to the amount of text that will be displayed). While most eco-sites tended to use blue's & green's, we felt the chosen colour scheme (of pink, blue & beige) would help the site stick out from the rest and by using environmental themed imagery, still ensure our desired first impressions were met.

Web Browser Popularity

Live-Media ensure every site we work on is compatible with todays popular Web Browsers. So keeping up-to-date with web trends is vital in ensuring the design work we do, is accessible & viewable to most visitors.

W3S Web Statistics and Trends shows the most popular web browsers as follows;

  1. Internet Explorer 6 (36.7%)
  2. Firefox (34.5%)
  3. Internet Explorer 7 (20.1%)
  4. Opera, IE5, Safari, Mozilla (4.8%)

With no real clear leader in regards to browser version (although Internet Explorer has over 50% popularity), it's as important as ever for web designers to create pages that maintain their design and layout across multiple browsers.
