Design
- We implement a 'skip to content' link at the top of each page. This saves time and effort for users of screen-readers
- Links within the main content follow standard colours and form, making them stand out within the text. The text has also been chosen so that it makes sense when viewed out of context
- The site can be navigated without the use of a mouse - using the Tab key allows you to move through all the links on a page one by one. Pressing Enter will then select that link
- No tables are used on this site - all of the layout is done using CSS
- The content of the site is divided up into easily-scannable sections. We also use lists and bold text to make it easier to find the information you want
