The pages are constructed using HTML and SSI and as you've probably guessed include a common header, menu and footer coupled with diligent use of CSS.
By design all of the pages on this site should be XHTML 1.0 transitional compliant and I will endeavour to make sure this remains the case.
Take a look at the WebWorks page to get to some of the
other webby - html - css - javascripty stuff I've done and if you like what you
see GIVE ME A JOB! [joke].I did consider including that nice W3C graphic to show this site is standards compliant but it didn't really go with the colour scheme. Instead I found the rather snazzy graphics you can see underneath the menu and you too can find them from my links page.
If you really love this site and simply have to tell me about it you can e-mail me at alan@valtonia.com although you will need to bring your own head protection.
Don't say I didn't warn you...
