Web design summary and colophon
Skip to navigation within this section
This Web site is designed, produced, maintained and hosted by ECOTEC Research & Consulting on behalf of the European Social Fund Division.
Web standards
The Equal Web site follows the W3C recommendations for Extensible HyperText Markup Language 1.0 and Cascading Style Sheets 2. In both cases (XHTML and CSS), the markup of all pages is valid.
Scripting
Functionality is provided through JavaScript (client-side) and ASP (server-side).
One site fits all
There is only one version of the site: Web standards are followed to promote accessibility, compatibility and interoperability. There are no text-only, ‘printer-friendly’ or browser-specific versions. While a Web standards compliant visual browser will display the pages as they were intended, all the content of the site is accessible using any browser or Internet device.
Tools
The following software is used in the creation and maintenance of the Equal Web site:
- XHTML and CSS writing and editing
- Helios Software Solutions TextPad 4.7.3
- Image editing
- Adobe Photoshop CS2
- Web document creation
- Adobe Acrobat 7

The Equal Web site design is tested on several browsers on Windows, MacOS X and Linux (Ubuntu) platforms. It is also tested with the JAWS screen reader from Freedom Scientific.
