Accessibility features

My design goals were to create a web site that was easy to navigate, to provide page or content scanning, and to make it accessible to a wide range of visitors and various browser platforms. While this web site is best viewed with a screen size of 1024 x 768, the minimum of 800 x 600 should be acceptable.

If you're experiencing display issues, visit the Switch Styles page and switch to the "Text Only" style.

Accessibility features and usability techniques...

This section describes the accessibility features and usability techniques for this web site. If you have any questions, comments or improvement suggestions please use the contact us form.

Switch Styles

The switch style feature allows visitors to change our default colour style [Green] to alternate style sheets or skins. Alternate styles are available if you're experiencing display issues or if you require a low vision style.

Skip to Navigation

Each page of this site includes a Skip to Navigation link that enables you to skip over the main content to quickly access the main menu. This feature is best used with screen readers, low vision and text only styles.

Screen Resolutions

This web site was designed using a fluid (or liquid) layout template that will expand and contract to the screen or window size. This provides site access to screen resolutions of 800 x 600 and higher comfortably.

Web Site Font Size

This web site was designed using font sizes of 0.8em ( body ) and % ( all other styles ). This allows visitors to increase or decrease a browsers default font size each page of this site.

Tab Key Navigation

You can use the [Tab] key on your keyboard to navigate around the links of a web page. Using this method you can cycle through the links on a page from top to bottom. Once you reach the link you want to visit, select the [enter] key to access that page. To jump back a link hold down the [Shift] key and press the [Tab] key. This allows you to jump back through the links going up the page instead of down.
