Accessibility

Meeting web standards

Eildon Housing Association believes the Internet should be easy to use for everyone, including those with disabilities. With this in mind, we are adopting a policy of accessibility and are designing this website to meet current web standards.

All development work carried out on this website aims to adhere to current Web Standards, as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

We are doing this to ensure our sites are compliant and can be displayed by W3C standards compliant browsers.

Design Guidelines

The website is being designed with these accessibility guidelines in mind:

• We make sure that navigation throughout the site works in a consistent way.
• We use a standard web font to make it easy for all to read. In most cases, the size of the font can be adjusted according to the users' needs, using standard browser and operating system options.
• All the images are given 'alt text' alternatives except those which are only decorative.

• We never use colour as the only way to convey information.

Browsers

While the pages can still be accessed in older browsers, to see them laid-out correctly will require a standards compliant browser. If you would like to upgrade your browser we recommend the latest free versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer.
