Hello,

Thank you for visiting Gentle Spirit Behavior & Training and taking the time to read this page.

Cathy and I have worked to make this website and newsletter as friendly and easy to use as possible for the largest number of viewers.

Text Size

One of the more hotly debated issues among web designers is whether to design using a fixed size font or to make the font scalable. For readers with vision impairments, fixed size font is unacceptable. Most of the text on this website can be resized using the text size tool found in the "View" menu of most common browsers.

Browser Versions

Since a few readers still browse with older browser versions this site has been designed to work on the following browsers and, of course, their newer versions:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0
• Netscape Navigator 6.0 
• Opera 5.0
• Mozilla Firefox 1.0
• Safari 1.0

For information on upgrading an older browser click on the above links for that browser.

Problems?  Suggestions?

Please let me know if you are having any problems using the site or newsletter, if you have suggestions to improve them, or any comments at all. Your feedback is very important to us. Just email me with the details at:

Web Design - A Brief Overview

Web design is a balance between the technology the viewer brings with them (operating system, brower version, browser settings, connection speed and monitor size, resolution and display settings) and the purpose and use of the website while attending to the ever-evolving, and increasingly complex, standards of web design and supporting technologies. For those interested in learning more, below are a few links to websites and articles about web design challenges and trends, web design standards, and usage statistics.

Thank you!
Craig
