Accessibility

While this isn't a giant corporate website, I'm adding an accessibility section to explain some conscious decisions I've made and also to keep myself accountable.

text

The body text used on the site will be presented in a sans serif font - one without the extra little lines on the ends of the characters - as these fonts are easier to distinguish for those with reading difficulties or a visual impairment. Capital letters will be used for headings, but avoided for longer text sections, as all letters being the same height can make blocks of text harder to read.

The majority of text will be black on a white background, which is generally easiest to read for the majority of people - if other colours are used on occasion I will always try to make sure they are highly contrasting colours to maximise readability. Links will be coloured and underlined to make them stand out.

Most computers and browser programs include accessibility tools that allow the user to select minimum text size, increase contrast, zoom or select preferred colours. 

language

This site features a Google Translate tool. Navigate to the bottom of the page to translate the page content into any language supported by Google Translate. I hope this will make it easier for non-English speakers to access content (but please forgive any dodgy translations they make!)
