Our website has been designed with the following accessibility guidelines in mind:
- Our pages are designed so that they can be viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.
- Page structure is conveyed using header elements.
- A stylesheet is used on our website and relative font sizes on all text with the exception of graphical text.
- Text can be increased or decreased in size by using the "view" option in your browser.
- Images that convey important information have alternative text. Where an image is used for a decorative purpose the - alternative text will be left blank.
- No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.
Visual Design
Cascading Style Sheets have been used to control the presentation of pages and properly structured markup has been used for content.
If stylesheets are not supported or are turned off, information on the site can still be accessed and read
Relative font sizes are used, which allows users to resize text as needed.
