How to modify this site to fit your needs

These links explain the many ways you can make the web more accessible to you.

Standards compliance

  1. All pages on this site follow priorities 1 & 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
  2. All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.1.
  3. All pages on this site use structured semantic mark-up. There is only one H1 tag on a page and this will be the page title on pages other than the homepage. H2 tags are used for other main titles, H3 tags for subtitles.

Structural Mark-up

All web pages on the Content and Code website are constructed from the following elements.

  1. A main content area which includes the H1 heading for the page title
  2. A header bar that includes the company logo and the primary navigation as a list which uses H2 headings for the section titles
  3. A current section navigation (appears on detail pages only)
  4. Top links
  5. Search box and button
  6. Footer (with links)

When CSS (Cascading Styles Sheet) are not applied to a document (or when using a screen reader), the 4 areas are read in the above order with the addition of a 'Go to navigation' hyperlink visible first on the page.

Images

  1. Unless they are purely decorative items, all images used on this web site have suitable alt attributes.
  2. The main navigation bar on this site uses an Image Replacement technique that makes the links accessible to non-visual browsers.

Links

  1. Links are written in a descriptive manner to provide a better understanding of where they will lead you.
  2. Links are made visually different from headings or content.

Forms

  1. All form controls are appropriately and explicitly labelled.
  2. Form validation routine does not rely on client-side script.

Scripts

  1. We are using non obtrusive client-side scripts.
  2. Content of this web site is usable without JavaScript support.

Visual design

  1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
  2. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
  3. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
  4. Any information conveyed through the use of colour is also available without colour (i.e. text based).
