Accessibility

We have tried to make navigation through the NICATS site as easy as possible for all our users.  There is a text only version of the home page for users using screen readers, self-voicing browsers or text-only browsers such as Lynx. All images on the site make use of ALT tags and have descriptions where necessary.

Navigation

Valid HTML 4.01!   All pages have been validated with the W3C HTML Validator (HTMLVAL) which checks web pages for compliance with W3C Recommendations and other HTML standards.

Every page starts with a 'skip navigation bar' which if chosen bypasses the images and places you at the page heading.

The site has been designed to enable tabbing between links to help you browse quickly. Access keys have been defined for any forms.
