Accessibility
Every website owner has a duty to ensure that web content on their site is as accessible as possible to everyone, including those who use assistive technologies to browse the web.
We have built this website to meet high standards of accessibility:
- standards-compliant valid hypertext markup language (HTML) enabling cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility
- cascading style sheets (CSS) for layout and styles, allowing users to change the text size to suit their needs
- images include ‘alt’ text which provides a textual equivalent to describe the image to those who are unable to access it
- not using tables for layout which should be beneficial to those who use screen readers
- The RNIB has helpful information about web accessibility issues.
