Accessibility Design Guidelines

Our website has been designed with the following accessibility guidelines in mind:

• The standard font used throughout the site has been chosen to be easily legible.
• Wherever possible, we use live text instead of, or in addition to, graphics to reduce the download time of pages and increase your control.
• No information is exclusively conveyed using color. This doesn't mean that colors are not used to organize information; instead it means there are also other, non-color dependent ways of doing this.
• All images and hyperlinks, where appropriate, have an alternative text attribute. This means when an image or hyperlink is conveying important information its content is described with an alternative text.
• We have attempted specifically to comply with Section 508 referring to website accessibility standards.
• If you have difficulty accessing the site or have any comments or feedback, please contact us.
