Accessibility Statement

Eteach strive to ensure that the content of this site is accessible to the greatest possible audience and number of device types.

This is the official accessibility statement for Eteach. It summarises the accessibility standards and guidelines that Eteach conforms to. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us.

Standards compliance

  1. All pages on this site are WCAG AA approved, complying with all Priority 1 and 2 Guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. This is always a judgement call; many accessibility features can be measured, but many can not. Eteach have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.
  2. All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. This is not a judgement call; a program can determine with 100% accuracy whether a page is valid XHTML. For example, check the home page for XHTML validity.
  3. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles.

Access keys

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.

All pages on this site define the following access keys:

Access key 1 (ALT + 1 for Windows) will select the Eteach home page navigation image. Press enter to navigate.

Access key s (ALT + s for Windows) will skip navigation.

Links

  1. Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
  2. Links are written to make sense out of context.

Images

All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics are either applied using CSS, or include null ALT attributes.

Font Sizes

You may change the font size of this document using the preference-settings of your browser.

Visual design

  1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
  2. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
  3. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
