Accessibility

In developing our website, we have adopted the current guidelines from the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and have tested it using W3C (TM) Markup Validation Service, Watchfire Exact (TM) and Cynthia (TM) 'automated' tests, and then manually addressed any important areas (as outlined in the initiative) in line with the spirit of the code.

Web design and developement is a constantly changing process, so we are constantly reviewing each page and adding new areas. We will endeavour to make sure that each of these are compliant. If you find that a particular page does not comply to the spirit then please contact us and we will endevour to correct the problem.
