All user-focused websites should provide certain things as standard - with no excuses. While creating the architectural specifications for the Lucid CMS, we identified a number of pieces of specific functionality that the system needed to include.

Our mastering of the dark arts of UTF-8, ensures your website reads just the way you were expecting, with no unexpected and unwanted characters creaping in. So you'll never suffer from Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn turning into Iñtërnâtiônà lizætiøn.

Website accessibility is easy to ignore as a marginal concern. But it's comparable to having a wheelchair ramp at the entrance to your building that the vast majority of people won't use, or even notice: it will make all the difference to anybody who does.
Strict W3C Standards Compliance
Standards are great, that's why there are so many of them, particularly when it comes to the World Wide Web. The Lucid CMS creates valid HTML to W3C standards, which helps you to achieve a more powerful, accessible and maintainable final product.

There is nothing more likely to put your visitors off your site than it not behaving as they might expect when things go wrong. Whether the error is caused by following a malformed link, or just plain typos, the Lucid CMS has been designed to handle them all.
