Keyboard Users
Anyone who prefers to use their keyboard to navigate their way around a website rather than their mouse will find that this site has been built with that in mind.
All items on the page including Form Items have been built in a logical “Tab Order” to prevent confusion. All links are also highlighted when they are “tabbed to” plus those using modern browsers will see highlighted form fields when they tab to the particular field.
Access Keys
We have not used Access Keys on this site due to their tendency to interfere with the normal operation of the keyboard.
Text/Background Contrast
Finally we have also used a very pale grey colour on a black background for the main content of the site to ensure a high enough contrast between them as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium.
