HTML5

For the new EBI website, we decided that we wanted to move away from making pages declared as XHTML 1.0 (Transitional) and instead embrace HTML5.

As we began making prototype pages, we adopted the HTML5 Boilerplate as our base, since so much work has gone into developing it as a solid starting point. It is worth taking the time to read the HTML5 Boilerplate documentation so that you have a better idea of the "what" and "why" of the HTML we will use in our pages.
