We try to optimize for download speed (download as fast as possible) and therefore compromize on the quality of some of our photos. The whole site is straight HTML for cross-platform compatability. Java and Flash are not used.

Web Conventions: Using Usability Conventions is a good thing
Web conventions used in this site include:

• Standard Link Colours: Blue underline for unvisited links and purple underline for visited links
• White Background: Aides readability and maximizes contrast
• Back to Home Page: The top left corner and a link at the bottom links back to the main Home Page
• Page Title: All web pages have the site name and a descriptive title
• Each web page is identified as from the Toronto Unicycle web site and has a title
• Standardized Titles, Sub-Titles: All page titles, section titles and section sub-titles are consistent in font, size and colour throughout the site. A cascading style sheet is used, which should render well on all 4.0+ browsers. Older browsers will not be able to take advantage of this feature, so the site will look sub-optimal.
• All Photos Optimized for Download: All photos and some comples graphics are saved in .jpg format and degraded to a reasonably acceptable level. This makes the graphic as small as possible for the fastest download.
• Photo Mouseover Help: Most photos have a description when you mouse over it. Although this help will not be visible when the page is printed, it does reduce the clutter on the page.
• Link Help: Each link has a title description, so that if the browser supports it the user can read a summary of the page before they click it.
