The international standards of W3C have also been taken into consideration and the design of the website is in accordance with most of these standards. The pages have been designed in accordance with the following criteria:

• Separation of content and design, i.e. no use of tables for layout purposes but use of cascading stylesheets for the formatting of the content. This makes it easier for tools such as screen readers to access the relevant content. The new website of Lubmin-Brandov Gastransport can be read by screen readers without any problems, allowing blind people unrestricted access to all the information presented.
• Use of relative units for size information, allowing the pages to be scaled both by the browser and by utility programs. The visually impaired can magnify the pages for display.
