Accessiblity Statement
I recognise the importance of providing a website that is accessible by all users. Therefore, I have made every effort to ensure that my website can easily be used by people with disabilities
Access Keys
This website has been especially adapted to support keyboard commands. These keyboard commands are known as Access Keys. Access Keys assist users with disabilities when navigating their way through websites.
For example, in Internet Explorer, to move to the home page, hold down the ALT key and press the number 1 key, then press the Enter key and you will quickly navigate to the home page.
On a MAC, instead of using the ALT key, use the CTRL key followed by number 1 for the homepage.
This web site can also be navigated easily using the tab key. This allows fast navigation without needing to use the mouse.
Access keys used on this website:
- Alt 0 - accessibility
- Alt 1 - home page
- Alt 2 - work
- Alt 3 - photos
- Alt 4 - stuff
- Alt 5 - contact
- Alt U - contact form input field
- Alt M - site map
- Alt S - skip navigation *
* Skip Navigation - A hidden 'skip navigation' link at the top of each page, when selected, allows screen reader users to jump directly to the main content of the page.
Increasing the text size
You can manually change the text size of your browser by going to the view menu and selecting 'text size'.
You can also now use the zoom function which is built in to many of the main browsers. This can be found by also going to the view menu and selecting 'zoom'.
Visual Design
Elements of the site are enhanced by the use of Javascript, please make sure it is turned on for the best viewing experience. The photo galleries use Lightbox JS v2.0 - a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page.
