Standards Compliance

Our pages validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional. We also meet most of the priority two and three guidelines.

We regularly test our site against the Mark-up Validation Service http://validator.w3.org and the CSS Validation Service http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator

 

Links

Links are written to make sense out of context.  Many links have a title attribute which describes the link in greater detail.

Images and Multimedia

All images used on this site are described with an ALT attribute.

Visual design

Cascading style sheets are used for visual layout.

The content of all pages is accessible using browsers which do not support style sheets at all, or when support for style sheets has been disabled.

Some web browsers (particularly older browsers) do not correctly display cascading style sheets, and the layout may appear corrupted. If you find this is the case, you will be able to access all content by disabling style sheet support in your browser.

Therefore, we very much hope that you are finding it easy to use this website, and that you aren't having any problems.
