By adopting the W3C Web Standards, Hot Banana offers content markup that's vastly improved allowing for quicker editing and the clean separation of content from design or visual presentation; CSS standards, which allow Web site-wide changes to be easily updated and loaded; content that's now compatible with all browsers, including the increasingly popular fully standards-compliant Mozilla Firefox, the Mac OS X browser, Safari and Opera from Norway; content that's more accessible to alternative Web devices such as PDAs, Smart Phones and other small-screen devices, eliminating the need to create parallel Web sites; more time for Webmasters to focus on content maintenance rather than design and development issues; accessibility to Hot Banana-powered Web sites which will meet government or industry-mandated standards and requirements.
Krista Lariviere, President of Hot Banana Software Inc., said that Hot Banana sees an important competitive advantage for itself through offering industry best practices in the areas of high-level design and Web standards, that at the top level of Web design, a Hot Banana Channel Partner has the opportunity to produce XHTML-compliant designs, that the Hot Banana software produces solid XHTML code, that Hot Banana’s Rich Text Editor in WYSIWYG mode publishes valid XHTML to a very high quality, and that Hot Banana has now achieved a high level of technical compliance along with full implementation of CSS, DOM and ECMAScript, and support for the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
