Accessibility

A great deal of effort has gone into building our website using hand crafted, standards compliant code so as to display in as many likely web browsers and interfaces as possible. We feel that it is imperative to do this so that your experience of our site is as painfree, intuitive and above all, accessible as possible.

There is however, a significant drawback with building a site that complies with web standards so that it is available across multiple browsers and operating systems, and that drawback is that not all browsers are created equal.

As part of the ongoing development and creation of this site, we have endeavoured to make sure that the majority of browsers in use today that we have access to, will at least provide as much as possible, a faithful reproduction of our site design intent, and that those browsers that are incapable of correctly interpreting standards compliant web pages will at least degrade gracefully, so that our content is still readable.

Recommendations

We would very much prefer you to visit us using a modern browser with good support for web standards, so that you can experience our pages as we have designed them. Those of you who are reading this using Internet Explorer 6 or below are seeing a slightly substandard rendition of our pages.

For Internet Explorer users, we would strongly recommend upgrading to Mozilla Firefox, the cross-platform, free, open-source browser that is Taking Back The Web.

Another very capable web browser with excellent standards support is Opera which is currently at version 9 and is now, although still closed source, free to download and use across multiple platforms.
