Accessibility
This is the accessibility statement for www.thekhans.me.uk. The new revision of my site is optimised for accessibility. This means it will view the same in the majority of browsers, although I recommend a standard compliant browser such as Mozilla Firefox.

Access Keys
The site uses access keys for the main points of navigation. The assigned access keys are those recommended by the UK government. The table below outlines the main access keys used throughout the site.

On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on a Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.
Standards Compliance
The main pages of the site are fully XHTML and CSS2 compliant. The code is fully structured, and should render the same in the majority of browsers. Some pages use Flash technology (like the guestbook), and I am working on a alternative text version.
Navigation aids
All pages make use of access keys, as discussed above. Skip navigation links are provided for the benefit of users who are using on screen readers.
Links
Most, if not all links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail. A title attribute is not given if the link appears to be in context and describes its purpose.
Images
All images have discriptive ALT tags specified, with the exception of images used for decorative purposes. All images are optimised for the web.
Visual Design
The site uses CSS for positioning and styling its content. If your browser does not support CSS, you will still be able to fully access all the resources as usual. I would like to hope that the design is uncluttered, and easy on the eye.
Acronym
Acronyms are defined the first time they are used on a page. They're never defined a second time on a page.
Printing
All pages (with the exception of the Gallery and Guestbook) are optimised for print. The Printer friendly pages will not print the background images, and will limit use of colour inks. The navigation and side bar do not print.
