Accessibility statement

This site has existed since May 2000. The following accessibility features became live in May 2005. It should be easy for anyone to use, whatever their method of internet access.

CSS

OUT-LAW.COM has been designed using CSS. No tables or frames of any kind have been used in the design of this website. 

Our style sheets should accommodate any browser, including those used by mobile devices.

Text sizes

All text has a relative font size which means you can resize the text at any time if you want to.

Standards compliance

All pages on this site are WCAG AA approved, meeting all Priority 1 and 2 checkpoints. There are two main exceptions. First, the games in the Fun section, which are hosted by third parties. Second, some older pages of the site. We are working through these, doing manual checks for accessibility.

All pages on this site validated as XHTML 1.0 ...until recently. On 21st August 2007 we learned of validation errors. We're working on them now and hope to resolve this shortly.

All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main headings, H2 tags for sub-headings.

Navigation aids

For those using screen readers, we load content before the main navigation options on each page, but we offer a skip link as a shortcut for users who want to skip the content and go straight to the navigation.

Link text is written to make sense out of context. Many links have title attributes to describe the links in greater detail. Links open in the same window with the exception of links to PDF and Word documents – which open in new windows.

Access keys

We don't use access keys. To explain why not, we recommend that you read Nomensa's article.
