Access keys
We have decided not to impliment a set of access keys on this website as we feel it is not our place to assign access keys for the user, which possibley overides their default settings or prefered keys. Therefore it has been left up to the user to assign access keys if they wish. However if you would like to see access keys added to this site, please do email us at accessibilty@bluemonkeyweb.co.uk.
Standards compliance
- All pages on this site conform to the XHTML 1.0 Transitional standards as possible. Because of the usage of Flash and CMS some of the sections will not validate.
- All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles.
Links
- Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target.
- Links are written to make sense out of context.
Images
- All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
- Complex images include LONGDESC attributes or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.
Visual design
- This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
- This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
- If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
- If you are not sure how to change the text size in your browser, there is an option at the top of the page to alter the text size from 'x-small' to 'small'.
