Overview. Repeatnone embraces W3C standards to enhance accessibility, maintainability and graceful
degradation for downlevel browsers.
WCAG & Section 508. The W3C "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 1.0)" state that
your site needs to be compliant so more people can see it. In the United States, the definitive Web
accessibility law is Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and in the UK the standard for accessibility
compliance is The Disability Discrimination Act. We think it's important that anybody who wants to see
your site is able to. Bearing that in mind, we consider many human conditions when building a website
such as color blindness, poor eyesight, complete blindness, hearing impairments, arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, Downs syndrome, and common learning
disorders. Having cut our 508-teeth retrofitting legacy applications for the US Navy, we guarantee your
site will both comply with federal law and meet any special needs a user may have that would prevent
them from interacting with your website.
Separation of content from presentation. By writing valid XHTML files and styling them separately
with CSS, website presentation can be sent one time and cached by the browser. These stylings cascade
across the site so that further exchanges consist of mostly raw XHTML mark-up. Separated from the presentation,
the mark-up is structured semantically, e.g., addresses go in address elements, non-informative images
are served as CSS backgrounds and tables are used to display only tabular data. This style of marking
up documents ensures they can be correctly interpreted by search engines, screen readers and user agents
other than computer based web browsers. By isolating all presentational information to a stylesheet,
the volume of data transmitted is also affected, causing pages to render faster and bandwidth to be
consumed slower.
Compatibility. There are hundreds of situations under which your website might be viewed. Our
modern, standards-based approach prepares your website for consumption by any device, user, or resolution.
Getting your website to look and function as expected in many browsers is no easy task, which is why we
will analyze your traffic and identify your target audience before development ever begins.
