We have tried to make our website easier to navigate around,
this includes: Improved web colour contrasts for visually
impaired users
-
Standard font, Arial, used
for body text, making it easier to read
-
We use simple descriptive
text for hyperlinks
-
We minimise the use of
Flash or frames on the main site, as these can cause
problems for screen readers and are difficult for special
browsers to interpret.
