Web Accessibility Initiative Guidelines

Key steps to achieve the maximum level of accessibility and usability.

The sole use of Cascading Style Sheets for design and layout purposes. Therefore allowing the removal of all tables within Vision Websites
Navigation system designed to increase usability
Use of access keys for quick access to the main navigation points
Reduced number of graphics within the site to a minimum, but where present, 'alt tags' have been used
Use of server side validation therefore removing client side validation such as Java Script
Enabling users to select the size of font and colours of Vision Websites
