We are committed to ensuring that all content can be view by all customers. Detailed below are some of the methods we use to make the Web site and content more usable and accessible.

Overall framework and interface

The overall Web site has been designed to provide users with a seamless view and user experience of the company. The framework and interface has been designed to provide a consistent structure throughout the Web site, so users will know exactly where to find navigation, content and important functionality and information.

The structure of the interface is broken down as follows:

• Top sliding panel - This is found on all pages and is a quick method of filling out an enquiry form.
• Top bar – This includes the company branding, phone number, page title and branding.
• Top level navigation - These links for the main section headers of our site
• Left panel – This contains the sub navigation for each main section of the site.
• Content area – The central content area updates to present the page of content that has been selected.
• Footer – This contains links to privacy information, accessibility links and site map.

W3C Compliance

This Web site has been designed to comply with the guidelines issued by W3C/WAI. All templates meet priority 1 (A) guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Visual design colours

We have tried to use colours throughout the Web site that provide maximum contrast between foreground and background items.

Images

All graphics and images throughout the Web site have been assigned an Alt-text attribute, which describes the contents or function of the item.
