Text Only Browser Navigation
Hidden links have been embedded into the pages to allow text browsers to navigate the website easily.
Fully Described Links
All hyperlinks on the Social Marketing Network website use either descriptive text directly for the link, or have a title assigned to the hyperlink to explain its use.
Reduced/Non-Intrusive JavaScript
JavaScript has been used in various parts of the website to enhance the users experience however we have taken careful measures to ensure that all navigation and actual use of the site is independent of JavaScript to allow text only browsers and non-JavaScript browsers access to all of the Social Marketing Network information.
Image Explanations
All of the images used that contain content or text have detailed text alternative describing the image’s data.
Form Labels
All forms used on the Social Marketing Network site utilise field labels to properly identify the field’s use.
Structured Content Order
We have structured the pages on Social Marketing Network to be meaningful and intuitive when read through a text only browser. Where the content cannot be placed above the navigation we have placed links to skip directly to the page content.
Colour Consideration
To aid users who have difficulty with colour blindness we have made an effort to not use Red/Green combinations throughout the Social Marketing Network website.
Non-fixed Font Sizes
All the text on the Social Marketing Network website is of a non-fixed, scalable size to allow users to resize the text in their browser to a comfortable size.
Standards Compliant
As far as possible we have made all of the Social Marketing Network pages follow the highest web standards compliance. We have followed the W3C guidelines in xHTML 1.0 Transistional, CSS and WAI Accessibility.
Access Problems
Unfortunately no website can claim to be fully accessible so if you have any problems accessing the Social Marketing Network or can raise any accessibility issues that are effecting your comfortable use of the website, please contact us to discuss the problems.
