SITE ACCESSIBILITY


To make this site as user friendly as possible to the greatest number of people we have taken into account a lot of the accessibility features currently recommended for website design. We have tried, wherever possible, to take into account the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These are a set of guidelines that help with making sure that websites are also easily accesible to disabled or partially disabled users.

MENU HOTKEYS - In the main site menu, we have added hotkeys that allow you to navigate directly to pages without the need for a mouse. Only the main items are hotkeyed and this is shown by the hotkey being underlined in the menu item text. Unfortunately not all browsers allow you to access hotkeys in the same way but here are some of the more widespread examples;

  • FIREFOX: <alt> + <shift> + <hotkey>
  • INTERNET EXPLORER: <alt> + <hotkey>
  • OPERA: <shift> + <escape>
  • CHROME: <alt> + <hotkey>
  • SAFARI: <alt> + <ctrl> + <hotkey>

FORM TAB STOPS - We have also tried to make it easier to move between the fields in any of the forms you will find on his website. You can move to the next field in any form by pressing the <tab> key, or go back to the previous field by pressing the <shift> + <tab> keys together.

AUDIO VERIFICATION - When using the websites built-in form verification (reCaptcha), you have the option to switch to using audible numbers instead of printed words. This does, however, require a suitable audio output device to be already installed and working on your PC.
