Archipelago Wildlife Library

This website has been created with Wordpress publishing CMS platform under Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. The pages on this website use valid html 4.01 strict -code.

All the styling on this site has been done using CSS 2.1-stylesheets. Both html and Css have been validated according to w3c standards. W3C was created to ensure compatibility and agreement among industry members in the adoption of new standards.

Microformats have also been used and validated when possible for more semantic markup and human and engine readable code, also hopefully improving SEO.

Efforts have been made to make this website to work on:

1. IE7,
2. IE8,
3. Mozilla Firefox,
4. Safari,
5. Opera and
   Google Chrome.

Unfortunately we ethically do not support to IE 6 users since:

1. this is a browser that’s been released in August 2001 — that’s over 7 years ago.
2. It’s old, it’s got hundreds of compatibility issues,
3. it’s not particularly secure and neither does it have many features we come to rely on today in modern browsers

Scripts and other content has been compressed to ensure fast loading times and other server side optimization like cache-control and expire tags have been used. Yslow & Firebug has been a catalyst to our optimisation effort. Website content has also been search engine optimized.
