Accessibility
This website has been designed to be as accessible as possible
to all users. It conforms to all Level A requirements of the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines and the majority of Level AA and
AAA requirements.
The following features improve navigation for screen-readers,
keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers.
Images
Images are provided with meaningful ALT tags. Where an image is
used for purely decorative purposes ALT tags with empty strings are
used.
Navigation
Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that
the number of links in the list is read out at the start and can be
skipped easily if not required.
Structured HTML
H1 tags are used for main titles and H2 tags for subtitles.
Where forms are used, all form controls are correctly labelled and
placed in the correct position; form fields follow a logical tab
sequence. Where tables are used, all rows and column headers are
identified.
Use of JavaScript
All pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other
programmatic objects are switched off or not supported.
Use of Colours
Foreground and background colour combinations provide sufficient
contrast when viewed by users with colour blindness and related
conditions.
Font/Text Sizes
The font size can be changed in all content areas, allowing
users to make text larger or smaller depending on their
requirements.
To change the size of the text in the most commonly used
browsers:
- Internet Explorer - select "View" from the top menu bar, select
"Text size" and select the required font size
- Netscape or Mozilla - select "View" from the top menu bar,
select "Text zoom" or "Text size" and select the required font
size.
Style Sheets
The Baker Tilly International website uses CSS (Cascading Style
Sheets) to support all visual layouts. If your browser does not
support CSS, the use of structured HTML ensures the content is
still readable and the website is still usable.
Links
Links are written to make sense out of context. A logical tab
order is also used, although all links within a specific page open
in a new window.
