6 Our Accessibility Statement
Because there might be some conflict with Accesskeys already designated by some software, Skip Navigation links are also included.
Skip navigation links
Skip Navigation links are used mainly for use with assistive technologies such as screen readers, and PDA's (Personal Digital Assistants). They allow readers to skip directly to the content or to a local sub menu. The Skip Navigation links are placed at the top of the webpage. Although the links are invisible to a regular browser, assistive technologies will be able to detect them. An alt tag on the link gives a description of the links. Each link includes an Accesskey attribute (see above).
Scripting
JavaScript is used on the Featured Portfolio webpage and is used for visual image rollovers. All links have alt tags with descriptions of the links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off. Go here for an alternative text version of the information contained on the Featured Portfolio webpage.
JavaScript is also used on the Home page to rotate inspirational quotes every time the page is reloaded. You can view the list of quotes here.
Images
All content images used on this website include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes. Complex images include LONGDESC attributes and links to text-only descriptions to explain each imag to non-visual readers.
Visual design
This website uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
