Our accessibility

Statement

This is the official accessibility statement for OXLink Ltd. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email us on enquiries@oxlink.net.

At OXLink, we are very conscious of accessibility issues and strive to create websites (including our own) which are usable by as many different people as possible, regardless of disability.

This website has been designed with accessibility issues in mind and has been tested in various ways and with various pieces of technology (such as screen readers).

General

  1. All pages on this site, except the support forum (which uses third party software) comply with all priority 1, 2, and in most cases, 3 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Please bear in mind that many of these guidelines are intentionally vague and can therefore not really be tested automatically.
  2. All pages on this site aim to validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict, and use CSS 2.1 for visual presentation. Use of tables for non-tabular information is kept to a minimum.
  3. All pages on this site use structured semantic mark-up. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles.
  4. Pages can be navigated and its content read without requiring the use of a mouse.

Visual design

  1. Cascading styles sheets are used for visual layout
  2. If Cascading styles sheets are unsupported by your browser, the content of the pages is still readable
  3. Images used only as part of the overall site design have null ALT attributes

Text size

  1. For those who do use a mouse (with a wheel) text size can be adjusted by holding down the CONTROL key on the keyboard and moving the mouse wheel accordingly
  2. Fonts sizes used are relative

Images

  1. Content images (in other words those not used for overall site design) used on this site include descriptive ALT attributes

Navigation

  1. On many pages, there is both a main and a sub-navigation available. These different areas are clearly indicated for the visually impaired and can be skipped, if required
  2. In order to make a clear distinction for those using screen readers, all adjacent navigation links are separated by non-links

Links

  1. Where required, links employ title attributes to describe the destination in greater detail
  2. Links are written to still make sense, even out of context
  3. Where the destination of a given link will take the user to a new window, this is clearly indicated for the visually impaired
  4. Adjacent links are always separated by non-link text

Forms

  1. A tab index has been employed on our enquiry form page, for those not using a mouse
  2. All of the input elements in the forms on this site are marked up with label tags
