Website Accessibility Improvements

Published by Alex Makin on Monday 8th of January, 2007

The Internet has the potential to become truly accessible medium allowing people of all abilities to be able to utilise the power of the web wide web. As part the redesign process, I have included a number of measures to make this site more accessible to people with disabilities.

Viewers now have the ability to control the size of the text used within this site, as well as choosing a high control colour scheme layout. Both of these initiatives are available through the display preferences column in the right hand size. In addition, the presentation and coding of this website has been re-organised to make it easier for screen reading devices.

These initiatives should improve the accessibility of this website. Please let me know if you have any feedback in regard to the accessibility of this website.
