What's your flavor?

Website design and development comes in more flavors than you can imagine. I can remember when everything came in one flavor and it all started with good old Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). That's when we were able to incorporate simple images and text into a hand-coded page - those were the simple vanilla days. What has followed from those single flavor simple days is nothing short of amazing; as the Internet has blossomed into a full blown virtual universe with endless possibilities and opportunities.

In this universe you will find a huge construct of programming languages, media platforms & formats, server configurations, operating systems and browsers. With this huge construct of resources one can execute the development of a website in more ways than one, coining the term "There's more than one way to skin a cat". This is why the price range fluctuates drastically between different developers. The best type of developer is one who understands and embraces the many options approach to developing and can work with you and your budget to execute a successful build of your project. With the advent of open-source, software as a service (SaaS) and other affordable options a good developer can provide you with options that will fit your budget. The type of developers you want to stay away from are those who claim one type of development is the best and are stuck by their own ignorance to only providing you one option for your project.
