HTML5 Technologies
The latest web standard HTML5 is rapidly emerging as the standard for content delivery, with native support for searchable, interactive multimedia content. HTML5 provides a rich user-friendly interface, and it can be easily understandable to both the machine and the user. Keeping this in mind, we transform most of the e-libraries to this new feature, which also gives advantage of less storage space. This standard also helps in increased responsivity and enhanced user experience. With the combination of CSS3 and HTML5, we do things that are never possible to achieve in earlier HTML standards.
If you are looking to convert any of your illustrated book to a format that supports good graphics, HTML5 provides the same joy of reading a hard bound book but comes with all the benefits of an e-published book. HTML5 does matters, and it should matter to you! At SKIT, we have the team to deliver just that.

One of the most widely sought after web-publishing format is XML. The platform allowsfor an easy storage and display of content on the web.

Using our expertise in XML conversion, you always have the flexibility to reuse the format to be published in other high-quality digital formats for platforms such as Mobipocket, Sony reader, Kindle reader and more.
One of the complexities of our work is the different content structures and styles that we are expected to work with. The challenge is to ensure that all these various data are made available to us and stay true and error-free to the original work during the desired format conversion. Whether it is tables, references, links, special characters or even footnotes, we make sure none of these information are lost or misplaced during our document conversions.
