Accessibility

Standards compliance

All our pages at www.gardentimberonline.co.uk conform to Level A compliance as specified by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The majority of Level AA and AAA requirements have also been met. Please remember, these are Guidelines and as such, some warnings may not be applicable.

All pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and use structured semantic mark-up where possible.

Our CSS also validates.

Structured, semantic markup

We have used structured, semantic mark-up on all our pages, using header tags, list items for navigation menus, address tags, etc.

Graphics, Pictures and Images

Where graphics, pictures and images have been used on our page, we have included text descriptions (Alt-Tags), to comply with internationally recognised Web accessibility guidelines. All graphical and imaged navigation buttons are similarly Alt-tagged. Where images have been used for the sole purpose of decoration, NULL alt text (alt=) has been assigned.

Links

Where appropriate, title attributes have been assigned, which would describe the link in greater detail.

Adjusting the size of the text

Users have the flexibility to re-size the text to suit visual accessibility needs. The method for adjusting this varies from browser to browser. Please follow the links below for up-to-date instructions on how to do this on your browser:

Firefox 3

Safari

Alternatively, on most PC’s, to adjust the text size of the active screen, hold down the ‘Ctrl’ key and use your mouse scroll wheel to increase or decrease the text size.

Access Keys

To allow all users access to our website, we use keyboard shortcuts also know as Access Keys. This allows quick navigation for users who don’t have access to a mouse.
