- All access to web pages are mediated through some type of technology; if it isn't accessible to the machine you are using, it won't be accessible to you.
- You have the best chance of your web page working on these intermediate devices if you use standard markup.
- People with different needs will be able to access the same content - as long as it can be presented in a way that suits them.
- Use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to make the presentation of your web content flexible.
- For CSS to work consistently standard markup is required.
- Use the World Wide Web Consortiums Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to make your content more flexible.
- Some people will require different content and different presentation.
- Prioritize your audiences - and spend your budget accordingly to create different versions of your content.
