Accessibility Statement

bigredradish.com is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the accessibility of this site, please contact me, as I am continually striving to improve the experience for all visitors

This website endeavors to conform to level Double-A of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. However, conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for everyone.

Access Keys

At present bigredradish.com does not endorse Access Keys (keyboard shortcuts for moving around a site). Whilst the inclusion of access keys may offer enhanced web interaction for people with impaired physical dexterity or eyesight, it is often the case that the access keys specified will conflict with keyboard commands already in use by some browsers or assistive technologies.

Standards Compliance

This site has been built using code compliant with W3C standards for XHTML and CSS. The site displays correctly in current browsers and using standards compliant XHTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly.

Links

  1. Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
  2. Wherever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list, separately from the page.
  3. Link text is never duplicated; two links with the same link text always point to the same address.
  4. There are no “javascript:” pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
  5. There are no links that open new windows without warning.

Images

All content images used on this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include empty ALT attributes.

Visual design

This site and all its archives use cascading style sheets for visual layout.

  1. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified “text size” option in visual browsers.
  2. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.

Accessibility Barriers

Whilst bigredradish.com strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.

Known issues:

  1. Site is currently lacking a high contrast style sheet.
  2. Site is currently lacking a print style sheet.
