Kentico CMS allows you to build web sites that follow the web standards:
XHTML
The code rendered by Kentico CMS is compliant with XHTML 1.0 specification. Moreover, we use a unique output filter that fixes XHTML incompatibilities introduced by the ASP.NET 2.0 engine.
Of course, it also depends on the code that you render in your page templates, transformations and on your content.
The built-in WYSIWYG editor automatically fixes the entered content so that it contains valid XHTML code.
CSS Layout/CSS Positioning
Kentico CMS supports both table- and CSS-based layouts/positioning. You can easily create web sites without tables. You can also use the CSS-based menu control that renders UL/LI elements, without any JavaScript.
Accessibility
What Kentico CMS does for accessibility:
- It renders valid XHTML code.
- It supports the use of CSS-based layout (instead of inaccessible table layout).
- It supports CSS-based menus (using the CMSListMenu) control that renders the menu from structural elements <ul> and <li> and can be highly customized using CSS styles.
- This kind of menu can be easily followed by users of screen readers.
- It supports dynamic rendering of site map (easier orientation).
- It supports friendly (=easy-to-read and describing) URLs.
- It supports custom page title, keywords and metadata section for every page (easier orientation).
- It allows content editors to enrich the text (links, images) with additional alt/title information that improves accessibility.
Kentico CMS meets the recommendations listed in the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
