The Fountain Studios website has been designed to meet level A standards as laid out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and we have strived to ensure that it is compatible with most major web browers, in particular Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The site has been constructed using several accessibility principles to allow users and disadvantaged groups, to access the information contained on the site. However, some of the tools and technologies used are immature at present and may not be fully accessible to all users - where this is the case we will aim to improve the site as these tools and technologies mature.
