our guidelines

  • navigation

    We have implemented a skippable area concept on each page and components to allow screen reader users to link to the main areas of the page.

  • headings and navigation menus

    HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles etc.

    Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily.

  • images

    All images used in this site include descriptive alt tag attributes.

  • colours

    We have taken care to ensure that the site's font and background colour combinations contrast significantly and are effective in ensuring information is still clear when viewed in different colour combinations.

  • javascript

    The use of Javascript has been kept to an absolute minimum.

  • links

    All links have been written to make sense when taken out of context and links that open a new window are described so in the alt tag. Furthermore, links in text parts are underlined to make sure it is clearly visible when there is a link.
