Links

  • Links should make sense out of context, for example 'click here' shouldn't be used as a link.
  • Links to external websites will open in the same window for accessibility reasons.

Images

  • All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT text tag.
  • Background and decorative images are created using stylesheets, and therefore do not require ALT text.
  • Pages are designed and laid out so that they are still readable with stylesheets and javascript disabled.
