Accessibility Statement

General

I am committed to making this website as accessible and user-friendly as possible. It has been designed to work in any modern web browser and most popular screen resolutions. If you experience any difficulties in accessing any part of the site or have any suggestions for improvement please contact my webmaster at: webmaster@mouseonthemove.co.uk

The site has just undergone a complete redesign with a view to improving accessibility for all my visitors. I would very much value your views on your experience. If you can spare a couple of minutes, please visit my  Survey page  and fill in the questionnaire.

Accessibility Features

The following features have been employed to improve the accessibility of this site:
  1. Validation with the  W3C Validator and Cynthia Says Site to ensure compliance with HTML 4.0, Section 508 standards and/or the WCAG guidelines.
  2. There is a Text Only version of my home page here.
  3. Every page can now be viewed in a High Visibility format, yellow text on a black background and a larger font size, by selecting the option at the top of the page.
  4. Text size can be increased in different ways, depending on which Web Browser you are using. In Internet Explorer, go to "View" on the Toolbar and select a larger size. If you are using Mozilla Firefox, Netscape or Safari, pressing the "Ctrl"  key and the "+" key together will increase the text size. In Opera, select "View"  and "Zoom". Opera has a number of other accesibility settings built in.
  5. All (I hope!) pictures on the site have alternative text descriptions.
  6. Most links on the site have a Title - those that don't, will have soon.
  7. Javascript and other scripting has only been employed sparingly and on peripherals such as advertisements and should not affect your enjoyment of the site.
  8. I have tried to make this site viewable in any web browser and support the "Any Browser Campaign". For further information, click on the image below.

The Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB), in conjunction with the Web Accessibility Tools Consortium (WAT-C), has developed a new toolbar for use with Internet Explorer which gives easy access to browser accessibility tools. To quote the RNIB:

Who the toolbar is for
The Surf Right Toolbar is really for anyone who wants to adjust the way they view content on the web to make it easier to read. This could include people with mild disabilities, the elderly, people with reading problems, cognitive problems, using dial-up, photosensitivity and so on.
Further details can be obtained from the   RNIB website.
