Printability10.0

  • All of this website appears to be optimised for printing (using CSS).

Semantic HTML10.0

  • All of the tested pages appear to use semantic HTML. It is widely regarded that use of presentational elements like <font> and <marquee> should be avoided in favour of CSS and JavaScript alternatives.
  • None of the tested pages of this site use tables for layout. This is excellent, as using tables for layout is not necessary and they should only contain tabular data. A well built website should use div elements and CSS to create the desired layout.

W3C compliance10.0

  • A total of 0 errors and 1 warnings were found on the 5 pages tested.
  • All pages were found to be W3C compliant. This is excellent and means that this website can be read by the widest possible range of applications.
