- Our pages are designed so that they can be viewed down to older screen resolutions of 800 x 600 pixels and above.
- Page structure is conveyed using header elements.
- Styling is based on stylesheets (CSS); content is separated from layout and content is designed to remain comprehensible and navigable if the user agent is unable to fully render the pages as intended.
- The use of graphical text is kept to a minimum and avoided if possible.
- Body text can be increased or decreased in size by using the "view" option in your browser.
- Images that convey important information have alternative text. If an image is used for a decorative purpose the alternative text will be left blank.
- No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.
- A site map is available to provide information about the layout of the website.
- Where browser plugins are required for content to be displayed, the user will be informed of their necessity and either provided with a download link, or shown alternative content in the browser.
