How this site is put together
This site is a demonstration of an accessible layout that complies with W3C standards and works in all modern browsers — and even in IE5 with a few hacks.
The following pages explain how it is put together. They are a reference for me, my web design students, and possibly others learning to design web sites using standards and CSS.
The layout – How this layout works and problems to look out for.
The CSS – A look at the default stylesheet used on the site.
The metatags – Notes on the doctype and metatags used on the site.
