Accessibility

While aesthetics is a major focus in the creation of any Internet presence, we also believe in making sure that all content is presented in an accessible manner.

Compliancy

We code using the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) XHTML 1.0 and CSS2 standards. We also take into account the accessiblility requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the US Governments Section 508 standards.

In the footer of each page you may notice links such as XHTML and CSS. These links are your way to directly check for page compliance and link to online validators that are listed below.

Recommended web browsers

Brightcookie does not recommend a specific type of browser but do recommend that all websites are viewed with a current and compliant web browser, such a recent and stable release of Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Netscape or Opera. A more complete list of available web browsers can be found at dmoz or e-volt.org.

Compliant web browsers use industry standards and therefore will display websites more consistently. Newer versions of web browsers also tend to contain security patches to fix issues identified in older versions of the browser so it makes sense to ensure you have a current version of your browser.

This site is coded using XHTML with CSS layout and will view consistently in compliant web browsers. All pages on the Brightcookie site has been validated as standards compliant. Content may display slightly differently for older and non-compliant browsers and all information will still be fully accessible, regardless of the browser.
