Accessibility
We believe our website should be accessible by all visitors, so we have followed the recommended guidelines from the Web Accessibility Initiative to level AAA.
To ensure our site is usable for as many people as possible, we have taken the following steps:
- Provided a description for all non-decorative images.
- Used labels to associate a text label with each form element.
- Provided navigational shortcuts for users without a mouse, or with disabilities.
- Ensured link text describes its destination.
- Made all text resizable, and used a clear font type.
- Ensured the site is usable without technologies such as Javascript and CSS.
- All pages on the site comply to the W3C standards.
Navigation Aids
To make sure all content on the site can be reached quickly and easily by all, we have added some (hidden) navigation aids, such as a "skip to content" link.
