Resizable text

Text is styled in CSS (cascading style sheets) using relative font sizes and can be resized in all browsers. For example, users can increase font size in Internet Explorer using (View menu > Text size > Larger).

Standards Compliance

All pages are written in XHTML and use CSS for visual layout. If your browsing device doesn't understand stylesheets, the content will still be accessible.

Well-structured semantic markup is used. For instance, header tags like <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc. are used to logically structure the content.
