About...

One Format is based on extensive research, into the ability of style sheets to control the presentation of web pages to suit the end user.

This website offers you a unique online facility, to create and download possibly the most advanced user style sheets available on the Internet, in possibly the simplest way possible.

The user style sheet enables you to view web pages in a format that suits you, whilst retaining the original information structure of the web page.

The ability to do this is possible only due to the efforts of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), to promote control for the end user. The most common web browser, Internet Explorer allows you to easily link to your own style sheet via its standard accessibility options.

Whilst the user style sheet is capable of influencing the presentation of many web pages, some pages cannot be made accessible in this way owing to the diverse nature of technologies and techniques available to the creative web designer.

Nevertheless, the humble style sheet can be a powerful tool. The user style sheet can simply be used to reduce eyestrain, or it can be used in lieu of magnification software, or even in conjunction with magnification software. Best of all it's free, so go on - give it a bash!

One Format would welcome any feedback, requests for advice in using or adapting the style sheets to your individual needs.
