Accessibility statement
Chalkfish is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience - regardless of ability or browsing technology and including those who have visual, hearing, motor and cognitive impairments.
The Internet has helped to change the way people work and communicate. We would like to give control to the user and let them decide how they will view the site. This website offers accessibility options that are easy to discover, understand and select for our visitors.
The site aims to achieve overall compliance with the Web Accessibility Initiative's (WAI) guidelines.
Web Accessibility InitiativeThis website endeavours to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. The Accessibility Guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance to these Guidelines helps to make the Web more accessible to users with disabilities and benefits all users.
There may be some pages that do not conform to all the guidelines. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the whole site conforms audio visual presentation and use of Flash and movie files make this impossible.
If you have any problems accessing any information on the site, please contact Chalkfish
and we will endeavour to fix the problem or provide the information in an appropriate format. The web designer can be emailed at chalkfish@flyinshoes.fsnet.co.uk
W3C - Validation ServiceThis website is built using code compliant with World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards for XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets.
W3C is the governing authority on web development standards and practices.
The site displays correctly with current browsers, and using standard XHTML code means that any future browsers will also display this website correctly. If you have a problem viewing any part of this website in your browser, email the web master
Increasing text size in your web browserIf you find the text on this site is too small, you can change it easily in your browser settings. To do this you should simply adjust your browser's settings.
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or before, go to the View menu, select Text Size.
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 7( the latest browser version) go to the 100% button on left bottom and increase the size of display for text and images..
If you use Netscape Navigator or Firefox browsers, go to the View menu and choose Increase Font.
If you use Opera use the built in accessibility option under view ( glasses button)
Changing coloursChanging the site's background colour can be particularly useful for users who rely on magnification technology as white can produce an uncomfortable glare. It is also possible to change the colour of body text on the site.
Both can be achieved by changing preferences in your browser:
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options, select Colours and make changes to text and background colours in the Colours panel.
If you use Netscape Navigator, go to the Edit menu, select Preferences, open the Appearance menu and select Colours. You can set the colour of text and background from here.
ImagesAll content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Those in purely decorative graphics or used for layout include null ALT attributes.
Visual DesignThis site uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout.
If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
