Comments
Notes are added to key areas or groups in the XHTML and CSS files to make the code easier to read and edit.
Section 508 Compliance
Typically
a requirement for government agencies in the U.S., select this option
if disability compliance is needed for your site.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
We
follow the guidelines provided by the World Wide Web Consortium and
integrate them with our own mobile and screen reader compatibility
options. We do this because ours are more practical and up-to-date. If
a specific version of the guidelines is to be followed, please specify
it in the comments section.
Disability Discrimination Act Compliance
Required in the United Kingdom only, select this option to ensure that accessibility to blind or otherwise disabled users.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Select
yes below and we will make sure that the screen readers you specify in
the comments section verify the code to be fully accessible.
Mobile Device Compatibility
Select
yes below and your markup will be compatible with the mobile devices
you specify. Please list the mobile platforms you’d like the markup to
be tested under in the comments section. We will provide you with a
quote for this option in the client area after investigating your
designs and requirements.
Non-web Fonts
If
you have non-web fonts in the design and you want to keep the original
look without using images, please choose one of the following
alternatives.
-

sIFR
- Shaun Inman Flash Replacement is a reliable technique for
implementing non-web fonts by substituting them with flash objects by
the means of JavaScript. It allows using non-web fonts in the page. It
does this without using images and without sacrificing accessibility
for search engines and other browsers that don’t have JavaScript
enabled or images disabled (like mobile phones often do). If either
flash or JavaScript is disabled in a specific browser, the sIFRed
objects will remain text-based.
-
Cufon technique is a great option for non web fonts. Cufon provides text replacement with canvas and VML
by the means of JavaScript, working natively with all browsers and
keeping the nice look of the text. No support of flash objects or
images is required to make Cufon work.

Font
face works extremely well with non-web fonts. If you choose the font
face solution for non-web fonts on your website, we will simply declare
the font you decide to use in the CSS
properties. Those computers that don’t have it will be able to download
it and use it on the go. All we need from you is the font file in .otf
format. If you select this option, please include the font file in the
archive with your designs.
Microformats
Semantics
are very important to us. Select this option below and we will
incorporate microformats into the markup wherever possible.
Print Version
Select yes below if you’d like a separate CSS to be created for the print version of the page(s). Print CSS
allows the exclusion of all unnecessary blocks from the print version,
leaving only the content to be printed. Please specify which blocks
you’d like to be presented for the print version in the comments
section.
Layout Width
Select
"liquid" if the layout should automatically resize to fill the browser
window. Choose "fixed" if the layout’s width should always remain the
same.
CSS Reset
If you use CSS Reset in your own coding, we’ll include it as well if you select yes below. The CSS Reset is designed to make modern browsers behave consistently by overriding browser defaults. The YUI CSS reset is Yahoo!’s version of the CSS Reset. Its intention is to make sure that there is a baseline behavior across all grade A browsers, making CSS styling more predictable and consistent.
Favicon
Select
yes below and we will create and embed a favorites (bookmark) icon. If
you already have a favicon you’d like to use, you can include it with
the design files when submitting an order. Our favicons are 16x16
pixels in size.
