About our website

This site is designed to be accessible to all, though the design of the site may appear different depending on how the user is accessing the Net.

Much web-design in today's world is designed to look the same across a number of different platforms. So, designers use tables to lay out a page and have taught themselves all sorts of tricks to make sure that different browsers display the site precisely how it was designed to be seen.

The trouble with this approach is that it excludes a small section of users accessing the Net through non-traditional means. These include WAP Phones, Web-TV, Braille-browsers and others. As an example, if someone is accessing the site through a speaking browser, they will have a hard time making sense of sites that are built around tables, where the design does not follow a logical order.

So, our site is completely table-free! The layout is acheived through Cascading Style Sheets and though older, non-compliant, browsers may not be able to display our funky design, the content should be available to everyone.
