This website has been designed with accessibility in mind, coded to strict standards to ensure that it operates across multiple platforms and browsers, to enable all users to access content, regardless of any personal disability.

Standards compliance

Half the World has tried to ensure, as far as possible, that:

all pages on this website comply with all priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
all pages on this website should validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict
all pages on this website use structured semantic markup. h1 tags are used for main titles, h2 tags for subtitles (and so on)

Images

All content images used in this website should include descriptive alt tags. Purely decorative graphics include null tags. Complex images may include longdesc tags or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.

Visual design

This website primarily uses cascading style sheets for visual layout and relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified 'text size' option in visual browsers. If you need to change the 'text size' in your web browser, instructions are available.
In Internet Explorer go to View / Text Size.
In Firefox go to View / Text Size.
In Netscape go to View / Text Zoom.
In Opera go to View / Zoom.
If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets at all, the content of each page should still be readable.
