About this site
Accessibility
We feel it's important that as many as possible should be able to visit this site and have with that in mind developed it with accessibility and usability features in mind.
Accesskeys
Accesskeys provides shortcuts to certain parts/links in a website. This is something that is available in most (if not all) programs. This could of course lead to conflicts with other programs' shortcuts without proper standards and since such standards don't exist today we haven't implemented any accesskeys. We have, however, made skiplinks available to allow you to quickly jump to the main content or the navigation. These are invisible by default but appear when you use the tab-key on your keyboard.
Size of text
You don't have to have bad eye-sight to appreciate this function. On a well made website you'll be able to easily change the text size by either choosing view in the menu then text size (Internet Explorer) or ctrl + + (increase size) and ctrl + - (reduce size)(Firefox)
Images
All images that are not part of the general page design have both alt and title texts.
Links
Links have, where we feel it's appropriate, a descriptive text if you let the mouse hover over it for a second or two.
Technical aspects
This website has been built with a focus on webstandrads: thus it validates to XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS. The advantage of this approach is that you seperate structure and content which leaves you with a more accessible website.
