The internet can be a great enabler and source of freedom for any type of users. As such, the value of WISTHEM to our users depends on its accessibility. This is an area of importance for WISTHEM. In keeping with our public-service remit, and our obligations under the Equality Act, we are committed to ensuring that WISTHEM users can access our website as reasonably as possible. We aim for a consistently high level of usability for our entire audience across all of our websites, following best-practice accessibility guidelines. We engage with disabled, non-disabled and elderly people throughout website development to fully understand user requirements and ensure we produce sites that meet these.
WISTHEM is committed to allowing all web users access to the website, while providing a visually rich user experience.
WISTHEM follows W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 standards to AA level. All pages use valid, structured, semantic HTML5. Visual styling is provided by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and enhanced user interaction is provided by JavaScript. WISTHEM strives to be fully accessible for users without CSS or JavaScript. Where images are used to show relevant textual content, a text-based alternative is provided.
WISTHEM supports standard tab-based keyboard navigation.
Newer browsers support either text resizing or page zooming, to allow users to increase the size of essential page content. Once text sizing or zoom level has been selected, it is recommended the user refreshes the browser window, as some headings will not resize until this has been done.
Text & background colours As WISTHEM follows web standards, it is possible to override our provided colour scheme with one of your own. Browser support WISTHEM is tested against the latest browser releases for Internet Explore, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Google Chrome.
