web standards: XHTML, CSS and Accessibility

All of my website templates are written entirely in XHTML 1.1 (which is the latest HTML web standard) and CSS. This combination of XHTML and CSS ensures that the website is forward compatible, quick loading and easily customisable. Relative font sizes have been used to help aid accessibility and all of the designs can be validated (as XHTML 1.1 and CSS).

The benefits of XHTML and CSS are:

  • Separation of style from content making your site easy to maintain
  • Accessibility. Read more about it here
  • Speed (file sizes are smaller and load faster)
  • Search engine optimisation
  • Forward compatibility
