Design and Development

The Diction Domain's site design, development and implementation are created and maintained by Yvonne R. Dechance. Site content by Candace Magner, Yvonne Dechance, and Friends of The Diction Domain. Site automation and Perl Scripting by Gary Blackburn.

The Diction Domain website has been designed to operate on a wide variety of platforms and browsers, and to be as universally-accessible as possible. Pages which display phonetic Unicode fonts require a modern browser and the installation of a freely-available phonetic font.
