Client-Side (or Browser-Side)

Client-side scripting is the practice of writing scripts that are executed on the web browser on your site visitor's own computer.

Why Does This Matter to Me?

Though client-side scripting can provide a dynamic experience for your site visitors, it also has a higher probability of failure or causing problems. For this reason, we minimize our use of client-side scripting on sites we design for you, and only use client-side scripting where it is both necessary and well-tested.

However, we make appropriate use of sever-side scripting to insure a rich, interactive experience for your web site visitors.
