Accessibility

This site is designed to be accessible to screen readers.

It has a site navigation bar at the top of each page (except for the Home page) which has a link to skip past the navigation bar to the page content, if so desired.

Pages for the Organic Gardening OCN courses and garden pictures also have sub-menus which work in a similar way.

Users with mobility problems and unable to use a mouse can access pages using the following access keys followed by <enter>,

• Alt-0     this accessibility page
• Alt-1     Intro page
• Alt-2     About Us page
• Alt-3     Events page
• Alt-4     Bookings
• Alt-5     Organic Gardening page
• Alt-6     Organic Couses page
• Alt-7     Newsletter
• Alt-8     Finding Us
• Alt-9     Links

e.g. Alt-1 <enter> takes the user to the Home page.

For ease of movement within each page there is an additional access key:

• Alt-s     move to top of page content

This moves the cursor to the top of the page contents only (excluding the top navigation bar and above) unlike the <home> key which takes one to the top of the entire page.

With usability, accessibility and portability in mind, this site is written in XHTML 1.0 Strict and uses CSS 3 to give an elastic design which will display well on any screen size and browser.

This site is updated and maintained by Stuart Foulstone of BigEasy Web Design, to whom suggestions on improving these features (or any other comments) may be emailed - Alt-m <enter>.
