Our Mission

Helping the web design and development community with programming software and web applications towards Standard, Accessible, Intelligent Designs (S.A.I.D.). The S.A.I.D. Architecture does comply with International Standards, Usability and Accessibility Guides, and Section 508 Checklist for Faster more Flexible design development.

WELCOME!

We are glad to see you here! Lets explore Standard Accessible Intelligent Design (SAID). The SAID Architecture will save you time and money, plus it adds accessibility and usability to your projects.

There are many web sites about WHY you need to create accessible web pages which are section 508 compliant. Our purpose is to show you HOW to create accessible designs which comply to section 508 for greater usability and awesome accessibility. This site is packed full of tutorials, examples, and resources to help you create beautiful applications to International Standards. We will learn how to program our Standard Accessible Intelligent Designs with a data format that will comply to International Standards, Section 508 Checklists, according to WAI Guides, and, of course, your new programs will be Bobby friendly. We will learn how to create amazing usability while programming great accessibility.

Our Section 508 Checklist and our Accessibility Guide are now part of our standard navigation for easy accessibility.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential. W3C is a forum for information, commerce, communication, and collective understanding. Code Validators can also be found here. [ W3C ]
