Thank you for taking the time to visit my personal website www.MikeKluska.com. Its purpose is to allow me to publish my personal qualifications and to demonstrate my skills with the latest web technologies. This website has been built with HTML5 / CSS3 and is based on responsive design principles so it can be viewed on any mobile device.
You will also notice a mobile theme in many of my skill set demonstrations. I believe the mobile consumer is the next major evolution of the web to Web 3.0 and I am focused on meeting their mobility needs.
Responsive website design, local business directories, map listing services, local display advertising, and mobile storefronts are just a few of the technologies contributing to the evolution to Web 3.0.
I am constantly updating this website for testing and validation of new web concepts and at times it can cause some unexpected interactions between various software components. Therefore, you may encounter some temporary inconsistancies in appearance or behavior.
Over time, various components of this website will be transitioning to a responsive design. The page you are currently viewing is based on fluid design principles and will dynamically reconfigure the contents for display on different size viewing devices. Resize your browser for a demonstration of how this website will automatically adapt for mobile devices.
Thank you for taking the time to visit,
