One of the hottest topics among web designers and developers is responsive web design.

This article illustrates current trends in web design:

Styled by Miami web designer WebReDesignMiami.com with front-end development by Web3.0DesignMiami.com using dynamic PHP scripting and consisting entirely of Flash-free tableless HTML5/CSS3 source, every web page at UmiWaste.com passes all seven tests of “Web 3.0 Readiness”. These include not only basic tests of W3C compliance as to content and format but also behavior, accessibility, semantics, syndication and links.

The hand-coded custom template features a Javascript-free, CSS-only vertical navigation panel with animated teasers, a jQuery-driven expandable footer, selectable PHP random relevant image displays, and PNG gradients for backgrounds and overlays.

Custom jQuery/Javascript programming also drives page load/unload and image hover animations.

User experience is enhanced by providing all forms with auto-focus and auto-scroll functionality, and all pages offer medical waste twitter, an RSS newsfeed and social media integration.

Also, every web page has been verified accessible using not only the latest versions of all five major web browsers (Firefox, Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Safari) but also by Flash-free user agents like the new Apple iPad 2 tablet computer, of which TechReviews.net says almost 1 million units were sold in the first 2 days of its introduction.
