Accessibility

FirstSigns endeavours to make this website easy for everyone to use.

We endeavour to adhere to Web Standards for Web Design and Web Accesibility.

FirstSigns web pages generally conform to XHTML 1.0, WAI-A standards, and follow Bobby's accessibilty guidelines, except where the Google Search box appears (at the top of most pages).

Valid XHTML 1.0! Level A conformance icon, 
          W3C-WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 Bobby WorldWide Approved A

Further to these standards, we also provide an alternative Style Sheet, and your Browser may give you the option to select the Large Text style, within the View >> Page Style Menu, or if not, we provide two buttons, "Large Text" and "Small Text". By clicking these buttons you can switch between the default text size and the large one. If cookies are enabled on your browser, it should remember your favourite setting for todays session.

You may also read the website with no style sheet. This will show you a very basic information only page, which we hope is very easy to read through.

We hope that verbal screen readers can manage to express our site, please give us feedback.

Any images that are used within the website are, in general, secondary to the written content. We provide alternative text for all images, and long descriptions where needed. You can safely turn image display off and still enjoy the layout and content of the FirstSigns site.
