Accessible Design
Last update: 04-04-2006
This site employs many features to make information more accessible:
- All images have relevant text alternates (ALT attributes).
- All animations can be stopped (stop button on their bottom right corner).
- Pages are organised to be fully functional, even with javascript turned off.
- All text uses relative font sizes so they can be enlarged or reduced using the text size options available in visual browsers.
- This website can be navigated without the use of a mouse (see shortcut keys below).
- This website provides a hidden navigation enabled for some assistive technologies at the top of each page.
- All pages use flexible page formats so they can be automatically resized for different window sizes and screen resolutions.
- Page formatting is done with CSS not tables to ensure that the semantic structure of the information has been preserved.
- All pages are designed with separate cascading style sheets, so they can be replaced by user-defined style sheets.
- This site follows World Wide Web and French Government accessibility guidelines (référentiel <abbr title="Agence pour le D?veloppement de l">ADAE</abbr>).
