Established in the year 1998, aplusstyles has grown to pefect website and forum designs by providing quality, well assured designs to its end users. aplusstyles.com was originally started to make forum designs for the Ikonboard community, after seeing the forum industry was a relative market for itself, aplusstyles started to grow by making designs for other message board systems of which some are:
Infopop Ultimate Bulletin Board
Jelsoft Enterprises vBulletin
Invision Power Board
PHPBB
My Topix
So you may ask how did we start?
We started by taking an interest in website animation software for example Adobe Flash of which we studied this for 2 years.
After noticing the graphics where not upto our standards, we expanded into industry software for example Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks, Jasc Pain Shop Pro, Corel Draw, Bryce etc. Along side doing this it was important to know how a website was put together so we started learning the necessary programing languages of which is HTML. As this task is an ever
ongoing one, in addition to HTML we have grown to learn
Action Script
XHTML
CSS
XML
JavaScript
PHP
MySQL
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
How long have we been doing this?
Each language and program we have learn't on our own self a steam. without the need of any courses, or tutorials or teaching. In addition to expanding our knowledge we have been coding websites for just under 10 years thus having 10 years of overall quality flash experiance, and have 10 years of experiance working with UBB, vBulletin, Ikonboard and 4 years working with Invision Power Board, we have also kept up with the latest browsers as here at aplusstyles we realise not all users use the same browser, so our websites are designed to be cross browser compatible using W3 Schools validation techniques for the coding. In addition to web standardisation, we have been coding in PHP and MySQL for 4 years, of which recently we have built our very own content management system, which may be released to the public at a later date.
