Printability10.0

Help

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

Semantic HTML10.0

Help

  • 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
