About this site Design for the World has developed this website to present the organisation and its activities to you. The aim of the site is also to create a communication channel for designers wanting to contribute to social and humanitarian causes, and between those designers and the organisations that could use their help.

Some parts of the website, such as the online gallery where people can show their projects related to design for people in need, and the project board, where people can collaborate on projects through an interactive webspace, are under development and will be online in the coming months.

If you have any suggestions for improvements or additions to our website, please contact us.


TECHNOLOGY
Webpages have been written in HTML 4.01 Transitional, and information should be accessible in any browser (see www.anybrowser.org/campaign). The site has been tested with Links, Lynx, Opera, Netscape (4.5-6) and Microsoft IExplorer (5 and 6).

We have used CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), but we have not completely separated the presentation from the contents to allow for proper visualisation in older browsers.

We have developed the website so as to be the website to be easily accessible for people with a reduced bandwidth access to internet (e.g. 56K modems).

For more information relating to these technical issues, we suggest you visit www.webstandards.org
