Text Size

This site uses only relative font sizes and therefore is compatible with the user-specified text size option in visual browsers. The text size can be changed in Internet Explorer through the View > Text Size menu. And in Mozilla/Netscape, through the View > Text Zoom menu.

Alt text

All images that are used to illustrate content include the alt attribute to provide descriptive text alternatives. Images that have a decorative function have an 'empty' alt attribute. All banner images used on this site are for design purposes only and are inserted as background images.

Link Titles

A title attribute has been added to links which describe the link in greater detail. If the text of the link provides a clear explanation of the 'target' then the title attribute has not been used.

Javascript

The site does not rely on client-side scripting for navigation and is mouse independant (navigable without the use of a mouse). There are no popup windows.

Web Standards

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout and is built to W3C standards. The XHTML and CSS is valid and the site, according to our judgement of the guidelines, complies with the WAI level 3 accessibility guidelines.

Browser Compatibility

This site is best viewed in IE6 using a 1024 x 768 reolution. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup which means that if your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets, the content of each page is still readable and is presented in a logical order.

We are always looking to improve the site, so if you encounter any problems please contact us to let us know.
