It is organized to be easy to navigate and designed to be visually comfortable. If you have any problem using this website please contact us.

Specific accessibility features

Skip navigation = Tab key

Screen reader users can press the TAB key to highlight a "skip navigation" link, enabling quick access to the main content.

Access keys = [1], [0]

Standards compliant web-browsers support the use of specific key combinations for keyboard controlled linking, i.e., "keyboard shortcut." A keyboard shortcut can be used in web page navigation, these shortcuts are referred to as access keys.

This site uses the following access keys:

  • Access key "1" = links to the home page.
  • Access key "0" = links to the Accessibility Statement (this page).
Instructions for using access key combinations on this website:
  • Windows user: ALT + the access key (i.e., 1 or 0)
  • Macintosh user: Control + the access key (i.e., 1 or 0)

NOTE: Accesskey consistency is poor across the web. There are no key assignment "web-standards." This website uses only two keys because only these keys are used with relative consistently across the web (1 = Home, 0 = Accessibility, this page).

Visual design
  • Cascading style sheets (CSS) are used for visual layout and presentation.

  • Browsers or devices which do not support CSS can still access content.

Standards compliant

Web-standards based coding separates a website's informational content from its appearance (presentation design). Separation of content and presentation has many benefits. For example, browsing applications that do not support CSS, can still "read" the website content (screen readers, PDA's, cell phones, etc.). This website was coded using human and machine friendly, structured, semantic markup. Visually, the design is created using cascading style sheets. The coding is valid XHTML and CSS.
