Accessibility guidelines
We have aimed for AA level of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. These guidelines are the internationally recognized benchmark for building accessible websites and explain how to make websites more accessible for people with disabilities.
It’s also important to us is that, by working to these guidelines, we make our website more user friendly for all our customers.
Web standards and technologies
We’ve aimed to conform to W3C standards for HTML and CSS and these technologies are used throughout the site. The site displays correctly in all popular web browsers, and degrades gracefully in older browsers.
This website also uses JavaScript, Flash, PDF. These technologies are not relied upon and the website works perfectly well without them.
