As web professionals with considerable experience of web standards, accessibility and usability, we care deeply that every website we produce is built responsibly and can be used by everyone. We have made every effort to ensure that our own website meets our own criteria, current best-practice, and relevant legislation. Below we detail some of the most important considerations.
If you do have any feedback, questions, corrections, perhaps want to congratulate us or maybe have a good moan, then please contact us via hello@erskinedesign.com.
All pages on this site aim to validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. The validation program can determine with 100% accuracy whether a page is valid XHTML. There are still elements we may purposely use that will make certain pages fail. Erskine use common sense wherever possible.
All pages on this site also aim to be Section 508 approved, complying with the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines.
Erskine believe that 100% of all website information should be accessible regardless of the browser used. We have built this website using current web standards to meet this criteria. We, like many others, support standards-compliant browsers as a priority, but make use of progressive enhancement to ensure delivery of information to all browsers.
Erskine believe in driving web design forwards through responsible implementation and innovation. We strongly support web standards and forward-thinking web design and layout, and we actively make use of new methodologies and latest specifications.
This website makes use of layout and visual techniques made available with the CSS3 specification, and these methods are supported within Safari, Firefox v2 upwards, Opera v9 upwards, Camino (Mac) and Internet Explorer v8 beta. Users browsing with IE7 or below, Firefox 1.x, and older browsers will still be able to access all information, though the visual experience may be reduced where necessary, following progressive enhancement best-practice.
We would encourage Internet Explorer users to upgrade their copy of IE 5.5 or 6, or abandon this terrible browser altogether and use Firefox or Safari (both available for Windows).
At the time of writing, our new website (version 2) is in “soft-launch”, and we have not yet fully implemented the layout and configuration for mobile and handheld devices.
Using web standards, our web pages can still be delivered in their entirety to any mobile device, although we will shortly implement our handheld stylesheets to improve the browsing experience on devices with small screens and limited web access.
