Accessibilty


Web Accessibility & Standards


All of the web sites that we design comply with a number of international standards related to markup languages and web accessibility. All pages are validated using online tools to ensure they meet these standards and are advertised as such.

XHTML 1.0 Transitional

All our pages are written using the latest XHTML as recommended by W3C. This is the latest version and ensures your pages can be read by as many different types of devices as possible.

In addition to this all pages are constructed in a logical manner using heading tags to structure page content and minimal the use of graphics. This has the benefit of minimising download times and making the pages as accessible as possible.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)


We use cascading style sheets to define all of our web sites look and feel. This means that web site elements such as fonts and colours can be changed with ease making ongoing management as simple as possible.

Re-sizeable Fonts


All of the text on our sites is designed to be compatible with the text resize function found in all major browsers. This allows the user to set the text at a size that is comfortable for them and is especially useful for those users with poor eye sight.

Alternative Text


All images contained alternative text which allow screen readers, used by those with restricted eye sight, to understand the context with which any images are used.
