Our Commitment to Accessibility

   At FIS, we are dedicated to web accessibility. This often overlooked issue is of top priority to our firm, as it is with many leading-edge websites and design firms. We our proud of the firms that have committed themselves to the development and integration of web accessibility and we are also proud that we can join the ranks of accessible websites. Below is some helpful information on our implementation of accessibility and how to benefit from it's features.

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 1.1.
	All pages use external stylesheets (CSS) for more flexible updating and to meet the web standards. All sheets have been checked and meet W3C requirements to be valid CSS. (Note: Although there may be some warnings because of some design elements, all stylesheets meet the requirements.)
	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.)

Access Keys

   Access Keys are a great tool to instantly access the page you need in a website. The following is a listing of our access key setup and the ways you can use access keys in different browsers.

• H - to change the page colors to a High contrast
• L - to make the text Large on each page
• N - to return the pages to the Normal contrast
• R - to return the text to the default Regular size
• S - to Skip to the main content of each page

How to Use Access Keys

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, 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.

   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.

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.
