Accessibility

We at Meridith Towne we pride ourselves on being accessible to all.

We believe that it is important to make our website accessible to all potential users. With this in mind we have worked hard to improve the website for people with all disabilities and impairments.

We have ensured the availability of alt text, a simple and clear approach to online layout and improved colour contrast. We have also facilitated the use of different browsers in a number of ways including the removal of frames from the site. Our site works well in text-only browsers and fits the criteria for people with visual impairment.

Additionally, great care is taken when designing new pages to ensure that navigation is simple, links are accurate and images are clear. We try to ensure that articles on the site are written in plain English in order that people of all ages and abilities can engage in Meridith Towne’s activities.

This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified text size option in visual browsers. If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.

It is structured with valid 1.0 Strict XHTML and semantic markup. Cascading style sheets are used for visual layout. Both are validated as by the W3C Markup Validation Services.

This website has been tested using assistive technologies and technical tools for WCAG 2.0 AA compliancy.

We hope that this makes the site accessible to as many users as possible but we recognise the need to continue to improve in this area.
