About this site.

This web site has been designed to be user friendly and accessible for everyone. This means that the site should still work if you have  javascript, CSS and images turned off.  All text should be resizable and you should be able to use the keyboard as well as the mouse to navigate the site. Text reading software is able to skip the navigation and go straight to the main content.

Hopefully, jargon has been kept at an acceptable level and the pages should load at a reasonable speed on a slow connection.

“Whilst many search engines are easy to use for people with visual impairments, mobility issues, learning difficulties and other issues that impact on website useage, this is not necessarily true of the sites returned in the results. It is estimated that as many as 86% of websites present barriers to some or all of these user groups”.

The above quote is from the “about net-guide” page on the net-guide site.
