Flash, HTML5, Silverlight, Quicktime, WMV. You’ve likely heard of ‘em all, but what do they mean? With no ubiquitous web browser and operating system used across the world, it is quite difficult for standards to be incepted. The functionality of Internet Explorer 7 on PC is wholly different than that of Google Chrome on Mac. As such, certain companies have decided to create plug-ins to offer increased functionality as a standard, compatible across browsers and operating systems. Flash (developed by Adobe) and Silverlight (developed by Microsoft), for instance, are 

browser plug-ins that let developers like Tocquigny create rich, interactive online experiences.

 

We take a look at what capabilities your web browser has in order to inform the type of standards we should implement for a certain web property. If it looks like a large amount of users are accessing Tocquigny.com from Internet Explorer 6, we can ensure that we develop the property without using HTML5 (a web standard not supported by IE6).

 

We can also create custom-tailored functionality and designs for users visiting from different web browsers and devices that have different plug-ins installed. This guarantees that we offer the optimal experience for all visitors, regardless of their technical setup.
