Introduction
The project was aimed at designing a website for Tribute which deals with promoting
artists, DJ’s and musicians by providing them with a platform to showcase and promote their
talents. The overall system functionality has already been discussed. To achieve the requirements
set by the company, HTML 5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies were used to develop the web
system.
Research
HTML 5 supports consistent representation of contents on web browsers. Tribute website
deals with rich media which should be accessed on all the platforms such as desktops, tablets,
and mobile phones. As such, the website should be dynamically responsive and this is a distinct
feature supported by HTML 5 (Gore, 2016). Therefore, it is the recommended choice for the
cross platform web development tool because it has the ability to adapt to low-powered devices
like tablets and smartphones. HTML 5 is not limited to any operating system because it is
dependent on the browser thus supports several native applications such as android, iOS,
Blackberry among others. All the latest browsers support HTML 5. An alternative that the
developer would have used is PHP. However, PHP is not a preferred tool for a multi-platform
graphic intensive website. As such, the developer is certain that HTML 5 was the best choice.
Another tool that was used is the CSS 3 (Cascading style sheet) which is a programming
language that allow developers to determine how the site and site documents are styled
(Garaizar, Vadillo and Lopez-de-Ipina, 2012). All graphical web browsers have the ability to
interpret CSS regardless of the operating system of device accessing it. CSS facilitates logical
division of how the web page should look and its structure that is handled by HTML. The
developer employed the use of CSS while developing the Tribute website to tailor and style the
various web pages to meet the different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, smartphones). This was the
best choice for the developer to implement the front-end web design.
Combining HTML5 and CSS can yield amazing results. This is because it offers the
benefits of developing accurate and refined web pages that can operate on different operating
