Template compatibility

Summary: The templates have been designed to be be compatible with previous template versions and a range of devices, such as screen readers.

Compatibility with previous template versions

The web templates are compatible with earlier web templates in that they largely share the same content regions and broad page architecture. This ensures that sites that have been built in earlier templates will upgrade gracefully to the most recent version. By complying with this page architecture, site owners can ensure that their content will be compatible with future templates and systems.

You are able to download the templates here.

Compatibility with devices

The templates have been designed to be compatible with a wide range of devices. Complete separation of the style and content mean that the content can be adapted to presentation on hand held devices, in print, on text browsers and screen readers, as well as the usual PC based browser.

Site owners should ensure that any customisation or inserted content does not limit or harm this compatibility. Following the guidelines in the Content and quality section will help ensure this.
