Site structure and content
Navigation: We have tried to make our site navigation as clear and simple to use as possible. All main navigation menus are text based and use no JavaScript or images.
The links are located below the content in the html so for text only browsers and text-to-speech readers you can directly access the content without the need to scroll through links or jump to content.
Headings and navigation menus:
HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles etc..
Images:
All images used in this site include descriptive alt tag attributes.
There are no positional images (often called "spacer" images) within this web site.
Colours:
We have taken care to ensure that the site's font and background colour combinations contrast significantly and are effective in ensuring information is still clear when viewed in different colour combinations.
If you wish to override the site's colours, you can do this by changing your browser settings to your own preference.
Font size:
The font sizes we use on our site are scalable.
Stylesheets:
This site uses cascading style sheets for all elements of visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, or you have chosen to switch them off, we have endeavored to ensure that the content of each page is still readable and clearly structured without stylesheets.
Tables:
We have had to use tables on a couple of the web sites pages. The majority of the web site uses div tags along with CSS and CSS2 . This allows screen readers and text-to-speech readers to be able to easily use this web site.
Any tables we have used still are accessible by having a summary explaining the use of the table. We have used percentages for the widths of the tables to confirm even further..
Forms and fields:
All forms fields follow a logical tab sequence to ensure easy navigation.
We have not used the "Label" element as we have yet to find a client that will allow us to use this. For this reason all pages with forms only conform to some of the recommendations listed at the top of the page.
JavaScript:
There is no JavaScript on this site so everything should be accessible to all.
Links:
All links have been written to make sense when taken out of context. Where appropriate, we have also added link title attributes to describe the link in greater detail.
Browser information:
We have tested this site on the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 6
- Opera 8+
- Firefox 1+
- Netscape 7+
This site should degrade gracefully in browsers older than 5 years old. If you do experience a problem or have comments please contact the web developer who will look into the problem.
