Accessibility Standards

As always we are committed to meeting web standards. Standards mean that everyone can access a website that displays correctly. It means that the handicapped can view websites without major struggles. Because of all these reasons are very important to use we have designed our website to meet the following standards:

Web Standards that we have Meet

Standard	Comments
	All pages have been checked and have been found to meet the W3C requirements to be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict standard.
	Probably the most difficult standard to validate a website to is accessibility standards. This website has been validated on at least two "Accessibility Validator" programs to see if it validate. It also has been manually viewed to also see if it meets the requirements. (Note: A majority of the standards are highly opinionated and can only be determined by manually checking. It is in our best judgment that we meet the W3C Double A standard for accessibility. If you found an area of the site that does not meet this standard, feel free to Contact Us with your concern.)

Other Accessibility Features

In addition to meeting the standards and having access keys, our site also features various other features that involve accessibility.

Skip to Main Content

By selecting the Skip Navigation link on the top of each page while viewing a website without CSS, you will automatically be placed to the main content of the page. In addition you can use access key function (S) to activate this link.

Alter Font Size

This website has been designed to adjust font size by either the browser or directly through the site itself.

To adjust the font size from the website please do the following:

On the top of each page is the option to toggle the font size between Regular Size [ ] and Large Size [ ]. You can either directly select (L)arge or (R)egular font size, or you can use the Access Keys to select your option.

On the top of each page is the option to toggle the screen contrast between either a default or to a high level. You can either directly select (H)igh [ ] or (N)ormal [ ] page contrast by selecting the appropriate logo. You may also use the Access Keys (H)or (N) to select you option.

Link Indicators and New Windows

We understand that modern web standards frown upon opening links in a new window. We also understand that this is especially true with doing it with out the users permission or knowledge. That is why all of our links open in the same window.

We also understand that usability is also important, so we have set up the following link icon scheme:

Link Icon Scheme

Icon	Description
A Regular Link	Regular Link - By clicking on a normal link, the link with be opened in the same window.
	New Window - Indicates that the link may be opened in a new window. By clicking this icon, the link will be opened in a new window.
	External Link - Indicates that the link is that of an external website. By clicking on the link you will be brought to an external website.
