Why is HTML5 So Useful?
HTML is a mark-up language used to design and lay out webpages. HTML5 is an evolution of HTML, with more tags and options designed to make web design simpler, more browser-friendly, and feature rich. It takes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and combines them into one easy-to-use markup language.
Before an organization can commit to a new technology, they must first understand how the application of that technology will result in tangible benefits that provide a positive return on the investment. HTML5 offers a myriad of advantages for both organizations and web developers that will empower your site with more features and make adding or editing new pages and websites easier than ever before.

AllianceTek was very efficient and fast in providing me the application I needed for a project I was working on. They beat the cost of every other developer that had applied for the job and finished the job ahead of schedule. I would gladly do work with them again!”
