About the Site

Design

Site design by Alex Mahan and Aaron Flint Jamison. Back end coding and structure also developed by Alex Mahan. Featuring valuable aesthetic and technical input from Philip Ashlock.

Hosting

Hosted at Textdrive, “a hosting company run by and for people who love publishing on the web.”

Technical Specs

The Department of Safety website is built with valid (lord willing) XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets. We avoid tables, font tags, and various other crufty things like that. This is to improve accessibility, load times, and ease of future updates.

The back end of the site is powered by Textpattern, an excellent content management system developed by Dean Allen, a Vancouver expatriate who is also responsible for Textdrive and myriad other awesome things. Thanks, Dean!
