This Site

The Marsh Design site is built on an open source Drupal 6 core. The site is hosted by GreenGeeks and our server runs on "300% green power"- we put enough wind energy into the grid to cover three times what our server uses, effectively making the entire signal chain from us to you carbon-neutral.

Most of the site has been verified to render correctly in Lynx 2.8.7 and Firefox 3.6 in Ubuntu and Mint, Firefox 4+ and IE 6/7 in WinXP, Safari in iOS4, and Firefox 4+, Safari 5, Chrome 11, Opera 11 and IE 8/9 in Win7. It is served in XHTML 1.0 strict.
