Section 508 Compliance
Typically a requirement for government agencies in the U.S., select this option if disability compliance is needed for your site.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
We follow the guidelines provided by the World Wide Web Consortium and integrate them with our own mobile and screen reader compatibility options. We do this because ours are more practical and up-to-date. If a specific version of the guidelines is to be followed, please specify it in the comments section.

Mobile Device Compatibility

Non-web Fonts
If you have non-web fonts in the design and you want to keep the original look without using images, please choose one of the following alternatives.
-

sIFR - Shaun Inman Flash Replacement is a reliable technique for implementing non-web fonts by substituting them with flash objects by the means of JavaScript. It allows using non-web fonts in the page. It does this without using images and without sacrificing accessibility for search engines and other browsers that don’t have JavaScript enabled or images disabled (like mobile phones often do). If either flash or JavaScript is disabled in a specific browser, the sIFRed objects will remain text-based.
-
Cufon technique is a great option for non web fonts. Cufon provides text replacement with canvas and VML by the means of JavaScript, working natively with all browsers and keeping the nice look of the text. No support of flash objects or images is required to make Cufon work.

Font face works extremely well with non-web fonts. If you choose the font face solution for non-web fonts on your website, we will simply declare the font you decide to use in the CSS properties. Those computers that don’t have it will be able to download it and use it on the go. All we need from you is the font file in .otf format. If you select this option, please include the font file in the archive with your designs.
Microformats
Semantics are very important to us. Select this option below and we will incorporate microformats into the markup wherever possible.
Print Version
Select yes below if you’d like a separate CSS to be created for the print version of the page(s). Print CSS allows the exclusion of all unnecessary blocks from the print version, leaving only the content to be printed. Please specify which blocks you’d like to be presented for the print version in the comments section.
Layout Width
Select "liquid" if the layout should automatically resize to fill the browser window. Choose "fixed" if the layout’s width should always remain the same.
CSS Reset
If you use CSS Reset in your own coding, we’ll include it as well if you select yes below. The CSS Reset is designed to make modern browsers behave consistently by overriding browser defaults. The YUI CSS reset is Yahoo!’s version of the CSS Reset. Its intention is to make sure that there is a baseline behavior across all grade A browsers, making CSS styling more predictable and consistent.
Favicon
Select yes below and we will create and embed a favorites (bookmark) icon. If you already have a favicon you’d like to use, you can include it with the design files when submitting an order. Our favicons are 16x16 pixels in size.
