Accessibility

The Oadby Directory Limited is committed to providing access to the our website to as many visitors as possible. To meet this commitment, this website adheres as closely as possible to the Web Accessibility Guidelines, published by the W3C group, and the UK Government's guidelines in the Disability Discrimination Act (1995).

Requirements

Our pages have been designed with the following browsers in mind:

  • Internet Explorer 5.0+
  • Netscape 6.2+
  • Firefox
  • Opera
  • Safari

Appearance

  • Our pages are designed so that they can be viewed at a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.
  • Page structure is conveyed using header elements.
  • A stylesheet is used on our website and relative font sizes on all text with the exception of graphical text.
  • Text can be increased or decreased in size
  • Images that convey important information have alternative text. Where an image is used for a decorative purpose the alternative text will be left blank.
  • No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.
  • A site map is available to provide information about the layout of the website.

Fonts, text sizes and colour are set with the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). These can be overridden with your own stylesheet by configuring your browser settings appropriately. If you are using the Internet Explorer for Windows browser, select the 'Tools' menu, then 'Internet Options'. The 'Accessibility' tab has an option for selecting your own stylesheet to use. The 'Safari' browser for Apple Mac permits you to choose your own stylesheet by selecting 'Preferences' from the 'Safari' menu, selecting the 'Advanced' tab, and altering the 'Style Sheet' property.

Some visitors may find it necessary to increase or decrease the size of the text appearing on screen. This can be achieved by holding down the 'Ctrl' key (for Windows), or 'Cmd' key (for Apple Mac), then pressing + or - to alter the font size up or down respectively. Internet Explorer users can use the 'View' menu, highlighting the 'Text Size', then selecting the appropriate option.
