Standards Compliance
We strive to comply with the W3C WAI's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 and aim for our pages to conform to a minimum of 'Level AA' compliance. Wherever possible, level AAA requirements are also met.
Every page on the website has been designed to be compliant with the HTML 4.01 (Transitional) and CSS2 (cascading style sheet) standards. The W3C logo on this page not only certifies that this is the case, but allows it to be verified using the W3C online validation service. You can use the W3C HTML Validator and CSS Validator to show that our website is fully compliant to these standards. While we use Bobby to test for accessibility, it is just one aspect of our testing procedure. As a computer programme, the Bobby test is not as reliable as expert evaluation.
