The Aerials Foundation believes that everyone should be able to access its website regardless of any impairments or technical constraints.Some of the measures we have taken to ensure that this website is accessible are detailed briefly below:

 

Text

Use of text

Where possible we have used text has been used instead of images on this website. Navigation, page titles and subtitles, links and other elements have all been created using accessible html text.

 

Text Size

This site has been created using relative text sizes. You are able to change the text sizes using your browser's text size option located in the view options.

 

Multimedia

Audio has been included on this website, due to the nature of this site many of these elements constitute key content, such as winners and runners up. Every effort has been made to make these elements accessible. Should you require transcripts for the audio files please contact us at adwards@aerialsfoundation.co.uk.

 

Colour

No information is conveyed through colour alone. Links are consistently red in colour throughout the site, but are marked out with an underline when rolled over.

 

Opening links

All links to other websites will open in the same window. If any other links open in a new or popup window, adequate warning will be provided.

 

Link context

Some browsers can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list separately. For this reason, wherever possible, links are written to make sense out of context.

 

Images

ALT text

All content images include descriptive ALT text attributes.

 

TabIdexes and accesskeys

Use tab to work through the information and press 'enter' to open the audio when the audio button is highlighted. All audio launches in a new window.
