4Elements, Amsterdam, Holland

Our website is now multi language.
English and Dutch.

We used "Multi Language Module" from putyourlightson.net.
It took some tweaking and time, but as of now we are set to add other languages when requested.

The Multi Language Module is an Expression Engine add-on that allows
you to create phrases in multiple languages, which you can then display
in your site templates and call from other add-ons.
It comes with 3 languages by default (English, Spanish, Italian) but you
can add and delete languages as you please.

Our website is now CSS 2.1 and XHTML 1.0 validated at w3c.org.

Museum for a non profit organization.
We where asked to design an auction website for a Non profit organization.
The whole idea is to use a Museum where the visitor can walk trough and buy art for a good cause. It's all still in concept, so count on changes.

Progress of designing the Museum.

The idea for the rooms is to use rss to show the art, standing or hanging.
Ajax will be used to integrate the auction software.

Stay tuned for more concepts.

Why does my website look different on different computers?

Have you ever noticed that your website looks different on someone else’s computer?  It’s not wildly different but it’s just not the same.  The colors might be darker or lighter.  Maybe you can’t see as much of the home page without scrolling down. The font might even look like it’s a slightly different size.

These differences are normal and can be caused by a number of different factors:

Browsers – The most popular web browser is Internet Explorer (IE) but there are a number of others. Also each browser has different versions. Websites can look different on different browsers or even on different versions of the same browser.

Screen Size – Different screen sizes can cause your website to be displayed differently. The same goes for different screen resolution settings on the same size browser.

Computer Types – The most popular computer operating systems come from Microsoft. However Apple has a large and devoted following. Websites can look very different when viewed on computers with different operating systems.  In my experience this causes the largest differences in website presentation.

Color, Brightness and Contrast Settings - These settings vary from computer to computer and just like all the other factors in this article can cause websites to look different.

So what’s a person to do?  Part of my job is to keep all of these factors in mind. I look at your website in different browsers and in different screen resolutions. So while your website may look slightly different on different computers – it will look good on 99% of them.
