Software solutions required by customers and applications developed by professionals have improved over a very short span of time. The developers also have to design new solutions to fight against the constant security threats. Conversion of normal HTML files to XHTML is a globally accepted and widely undertaken initiative that marks the world of web development. XHTML is the short form of Extensible Markup Language and it combines both the flexibility of HTML and the extensibility of XML. It offers improved markup structure, having style to construct web documents.

Client/server application development is another important advancement in the application world. It is emerging as the most preferred computing technology in the business world. There are many similarities between this computing paradigm and the mode of operation of today's business. In client/server systems, the work of computing is divided among many separate machines. As a result, it has to rely on networks to weld together different computers into a whole system. Greater latitude is provided to the users in choosing software presentation and more opportunity is provided to software developers to create customized and modern programs.
There are differences between different business organizations in their style of work. In bespoke web development, a solution is tailored specifically for the client's needs. Such an application is required when there is no standard product to cater to a distinct workflow of a particular business. Different skills like business understanding and communication, business energy, technical expertise at work etc. are required for the successful implementation of a bespoke application development project.
