Website accessibility
I am committed to ensuring that all the content on this website is accessible to those with special needs, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive and motor impairments. You can find out what steps I have taken to meet this commitment below.
If there is anything more that you feel I could do to improve your user experience (or someone else's) on this website I would be very interested to hear from you. You can contact me by either calling me on 0203 239 3136 or by emailing me at Paul@Web-Presence.co.uk.
Access keys
Access keys provide an alternative to the mouse for exploring a website. You can see which webpages have been assigned an access key on this website (in this case, a number between 0 and 9) below. Access keys can be used by pressing ALT + the number in Internet Explorer & Google Chrome and SHIFT + ALT + the number in Firefox.
Key combinations for other browers can be found on this page on Wikipedia.

Examples: If you are using Firefox, pressing 'SHIFT + ALT + 1' simultaneously now would take you back to the home page. On the other hand, if you are using Google Chrome, you would only need to press 'ALT + 3' simultaneously to go to my website portfolio page.
W3C coding standards
All the HTML used to code this website conforms to the standards set for 'XHTML 1.0 Transitional' by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), while the CSS used validates to 'CSS level 2'. This can be confirmed at any time by using the W3C validation tool.
Images
In order to help all users of this website, each image on this site has both the ALT and TITLE tag attributes set - with the former describing the content of the image and the latter clarifying its contextual use.
Links
All the links on this website have their TITLE attributes set to describe the target of the link in more detail so that they can be used out of context. Additionally, if the link will open in a new window, a warning will also be displayed in the TITLE attribute to make the user aware of the action.
Colour and contrast
Colour is never used as the only indicator of an active region (like a hyperlink) or to group data. High contrast between the content and the background is maintained throughout the website with black or dark red text and white or light grey backgrounds.
Display and layout
This website has been thoroughly tested in all current, major browsers and the most popular legacy browsers to ensure that it is as widely accessible as possible. The website's layout is controlled exclusively by cascading style sheets (CSS) meaning that neither tables nor frames are present anywhere on the site.
JavaScript
A small amount of JavaScript is used on this website to enhance the user experience. However visitors who have JavaScript disabled will still find that they can access and interact with all areas of the website without loss of functionality.
