Our site's code

The site has been built to comply with standards HTML5 and CSS3. At every stage the code has been checked for accessibility. Parts of this site utilise JavaScript. In every instance, device-independent event handlers have been implemented so that use of the mouse is not required. Additionally, all content and functionality are available even if scripting has been disabled in the browser.
