Access Keys
This Web site contains a number of
shortcut, or accesskeys, enabling faster selection of key links.
When using Internet Explorer pressing the ALT key combined with
an alphanumeric key will highlight the link. By pressing the ENTER
or RETURN key the link will be followed. For example Alt + 0 (ENTER)
takes you to the Home page.
When using Netscape 6 you simply need to select ALT + 0 and you
will be immediately taken to the Home page.
Accesskeys do not work in Opera 6.
On Macintosh, you can press CONTROL + an access key to be taken
to the hyperlink for the page. Pressing ENTER or RETURN will then
take you to the linked page.
Some of the shortcut keys are used twice. In such cases simply
press the shortcut key twice. This will take you to the second link
and then you press ENTER or RETURN as before. If you press the key
a third time you will highlight the first shortcut again. Website Shortcuts

You also have the option to make your computer ignore brief,
repeated keystrokes (FilterKeys) and play a sound when you hit CapsLock,

Navigation Aids
All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags
are used for main titles and H2 tags for subtitles. STRONG and
EM tags are used rather than BOLD and ITALIC.
The main focus of this site is the "Six Steps to Building and
Maintaining Your Website".
You should be
able to distinguish your location with the site by referring
to the navigation tabs at the top of each page. Many pages also include
a button labeled with the category name situated below and to the
left of the main navigation tabs.
Visually disable users can JUMP over the navigation links and go
straight to the page content by pressing ALT+J followed by ENTER
or RETURN. Links
Many links have TITLE attributes which describe the link in greater
detail. Exceptions would be when the text of the link already
fully describes its destination.
Links are written to make sense out of context.
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes.
Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
Visual Design
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
This means you may customise your Internet browser settings to
view the site according to your own preferences.
Instructions on how to customise your browser can be accessed from
the left hand navigation panel at the top of this page. We use relative
font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text
size" options in visual browsers.
If your browser does not support style
sheets the content of each page is still readable. Testing
Each page is tested and validated using a variety of Web accessibility
and validation tools as well as human judgement.
Tests include checking how pages look when linearised, using different
operating systems, colour depths, and screen
resolutions.
All pages are checked using version 4+ browsers, text-only browsers,
screenreaders, and voice activated software.
