The Semple Fraser web site has been developed to comply with the international web accessibility standards issued by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as part of their Web Accessibility Initiative.

All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that top level and main content pages conform to: W3C's "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0", available at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505.

XHTML 1.0 is the W3C's first Recommendation for the Hypertext Markup Language, XHTML. XHTML 1.0 is a reformulation of HTML 4.01 in XML. XHTML has been designed to make web pages more accessible to those with physical disabilities.

The Semple Fraser website uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) as a mechanism for adding consistent style (e.g. fonts, colours, layout) to the web documents. The style sheet used on the Semple Fraser website validates as CSS.
