Features of the HTML code used to make up the pages
Images used throughout the APB website have an alternative text version which will be picked up by a screenreader.
We have laid out all of the elements on the page in a logical order and all links make sense when read out of context.
We have used heading styles on all pages to break them up into hierarchical structures.
Changing text size, font colour and turning off images
We have coded our pages so that it should be possible for you to easily increase or decrease the size of the site's text using your browser's built in controls.
You should also be able to turn off Style Sheets or override the website with your own Style Sheet if desired.
