Progressive enhancement in the real world

Published: 10 September 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Progressive Enhancement is a modern approach for developing web documents that are accessible across any browser or device that has access to the Internet. Based on the idea of separating a document's content, presentation, and behaviour, progressive enhancement embraces accessibility, semantics, forward-compatibility and usability. This poster illustrates a real world implementation of the progressive enhancement technique by following the steps in building a restaurant food menu that elegantly scrolls within a fixed page design.
