Sites we have maintained, but are now looked after elsewhere

The goals we now try to follow are:
- Pages should have valid code – passing the validation tests at validator.w3.org
- Pages should have valid DOCTYPES defining the standards by which they will be validated.
- Pages should have a useful set of metatags
- Pages should, as much as possible, be limited to semantic content. Tables will be used for data tables and not for layout.
- Pages should display sensibly, without horizontal scrolling, on 800x600 pixel screens and larger.
- CSS style sheets to be used for mark-up and layout. This allows for fluid displays on variable sized screens, user friendly print layouts (e.g. suppression of menus), and in due course different output for PDA’s and internet enabled telephones.
- CSS also to pass the validation tests at jigsaw.w3.org
- JavaScript is acceptable, but the page must degrade sensibly if the user has opted not to use JavaScript. Similarly, the page must degrade gracefully if CSS is removed.
- We don't do Flash. Certainly not for whole pages, but might consider it for maps and photos.
- This approach helps achieve accessibility guideline, which are now a legal requirement for sites in the USA and the UK. For example, all text should be resizable, and all images marked with appropriate information for visually impaired users. The contents should also be friendly to screen readers (who speak the contents for blind people). I do not yet build sites which can be navigated without a mouse, or meet some of the other more esoteric requirements of the Disabilities Discrimination Act.
