Accessibility
This site intends to conform to best practice guidelines regarding accessibility
(currently the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
The goal has been to meet at least 'AA' standards throughout. Many pages already go beyond this, meeting automated testing under basic 'AAA' rules (for example, this page).

Text Version
The 'Text Version' pages, available through the link in the header on every page, are 'machine generated' and therefore may have some limitations. If you have any feedback on the text-only pages please feel free to email Shaun Osborne
Text Re-sizing
Although we do not provide 'text sizing' links within the site, font-sizes throughout should elegantly re-size in a modern, standards compliant, browser (e.g. Firefox where 'CTRL~+' will increase text-size and 'CTRL~-' will decrease text-size). Internet Explorer, unfortunately, has known limitations regarding text re-sizing.
Standards
The pages within the site are intended to conform to current CSS and XHTML standards
Metadata
All pages within the site contain embedded Dublin Core metadata intended to conform to DCMI guidelines for XHTML embedded metadata.
