Website Design Resources
Useful standards, tools and companion resources for planning and evaluating website design.
Standards and testing
Use W3C accessibility guidance, browser developer tools, Lighthouse/PageSpeed Insights and real-device testing to validate design decisions. Automated checks are useful, but they do not replace keyboard testing, readable content review or form-flow testing.

For broader Canadian standards and planning, review a Canadian website standards and small-business planning resource. For legacy platform work, use a CMS migration and website rescue field manual for static conversion, redirects and content preservation.
For commercial website-build examples, see a small-business website design service with live project examples, while explore a technical web-development site focused on implementation and site architecture.
Use examples critically
No single website is a universal template. Study why a component works for its audience, content and task before borrowing the pattern.
