Web Standards And Accessibility
"The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect."
-- Tim Berners-Lee, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Director and inventor of the World Wide Web.
We are committed to make Planetizen standards-compliant and universally accessible. Our goal is to make all Planetizen web pages comply with W3C's HTML specifications. We also use W3C-recommended CSS technology to build faster-loading and standards-compliant web pages. To ensure that PLANetizen is accessible to persons with disabilities, we have adopted the Section 508 Guidelines and regularly test our website for accessibility.

If you have any suggestions for improvements please send us an email.
We encourage the planning and development community to improve web accessibility by adopting standards such as the Section 508 guidelines. To learn more about web accessibilty and its benefits, see:
