Colour Testing - for Colour Blindness & Deficiencies

Website Accessibility & Testing

In 2009 we announced that the HTML5 specification at the WHATWG was progressing to Last Call . The plan at the time was to finish the specification this year and publish a snapshot of "HTML5" in 2012. However, shortly after that we realised that the demand for new features in HTML remained high, and so we would have to continue maintaining HTML and adding features to it before we could call "HTML5" complete, and as a result we moved to a new development model , where the technology is not versioned and instead we just have a living document that defines the technology as it evolves. http://blog.whatwg.org/html-is-the-new-html5

C Link Checker

This Link Checker looks for issues in links, anchors and referenced objects in a Web page, CSS style sheet, or recursively on a whole Web site. For best results, it is recommended to first ensure that the documents checked use Valid (X)HTML Markup and CSS . The Link Checker is part of the W3C's validators and Quality Web tools .

Most big modern websites store their information in a database and use a language such as PHP or ASP to extract it, turn it into HTML and send it to the Web browser.
