Navigation
- All pages on this website include a consistent set of navigation links located near the top of the page
- Each section of the site has its own sub menu located to the left of the screen
- All pages have properly nested link lists in the navigation.
- All pages include a search box, and a more advanced search page is provided.
Structured, semantic markup: Headings and navigation menus
- HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles, and so on.
- Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily.
Images
All content images used include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include empty ALT attributes.
Visual Design
This site uses relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers. For example, if you're using Internet Explorer, you can make your default text size larger under the "View" menu, "Text Size", "Larger" (or "Largest"). If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
