Accessibility Statement

All pages on spreadsheetsafe.com comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 to priority 2, level "AA".

When developing accessible website we use a combination of automated software checks and manual checks to test for accessibility.

There are several elements of a website that can effect its accessibility, the include, but are not limited to:

Images

All content images have an alternative description when not available or turned off. Images which are merely for decorating purposes contain a null alternative description to not confuse users using screen readers.

Tables

Tables are only used for what they are for: showing tabular data. The site's design does not rely on any tables which is a major benefit for screen readers and loading time.

Tables are written in standard compliant mark-up. They contain a summary and headers are labeled as such to make the data for users with visual disabilities.

Links

All links make sense if read out of context.

Colour

All colors have high contrasts between foreground and background for a high legibility and people with sight problems.

Adjustable Text Size

Text size can be adjusted because relative font sizes are used rather than absolute sizes. Most browsers have a menu choice to adjust the font size.

Stylesheets

Content and presentation are strictly separated. For all visual elements style sheets are used.

However, if style sheets are not supported or turned off, the site is still usable to its fullest extent.

Forms

All fields in a form are labeled correctly and use default, place-holding characters like required by WCAG 1.0.

Logical Tab Order

A logical tab order is created throughout the website.

Valid and standard conform CSS and XHTML

All of the coding uses valid CSS and valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
