Accessibility Design Guidelines
Our website has been designed with the following accessibility guidelines in mind:
o The standard font used throughout the site has been chosen to be easily legible.
o Wherever possible, we use live text instead of graphics to reduce the download time of pages and increase your control.
o No information is exclusively conveyed using color. This doesn't mean that colors are not used to organize information; instead it means there are also other, non-color dependent ways of doing this.
o All images and hyperlinks, where appropriate, have an alternative text attribute. This means when an image or hyperlink is conveying important information its content is described with an alternative text.
o We work to comply with Section 508 as well as 2.0 A and AA referring to website accessibility standards.
o If you have difficulty accessing the site or have any comments or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us.
