About this site design

Designed using web standards
In designing this site, we have used technologies that form a common standard. By designing to what are known as 'web standards', the content of this web site is made available to a wider range of people and technologies.

Features include:

• Simple use of layout tables where appropriate which still allow content to read when the tables are linearised or displayed in a simple browser such as Lynx.
• All images contain an alternative textual rendering
• All data tables and forms contain additional markup that may help assistive technologies such as screen readers
• Use of style sheets to separate content from display
• Appropriate use of HTML tags

Designed with accessibility in mind
We have tried our very best to make this web site usable by as many people as possible. Some people with disabilities find using the web difficult and many sites do not accommodate those with visual or other disabilities. While we know that it is impossible to design a site that everyone can use, designing this site with accessibility in mind means that more people can access its content.
