To meet with current accessibility requirements, this site has been developed to offer a core experience for all while adding levels of enhancement where user and browser capability will allow:

  1. HTML Text with basic imagery – The basic website, ideal for speech readers, visual impaired users, mobile phone access, brail readers and printing

  2. Html with CSS (adding style) – Functioning identically to above but with addition of style. The site now displays a near approximation to look and feel of fully enhanced rich media configuration but without the need for JavaScript or flash plug-in. JavaScript may be disabled for a variety of accessibility requirements but in addition to these many other types of users can benefit from the site in this form in instances where JavaScript is not available or when no JavaScript is simply a preference of the user.

    1024 x 768 tip – This site is designed as a full screen experience.  Those browsing at a resolution of 1024 x 768 without JavaSript may want to consider switching their browser in to ‘Full Screen’ mode. The content will then perfectly fit the screen and avoid unnecessary page scrolling.  Web browsers will invariably have a ‘Full Screen’ mode. In Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Fire Fox it can be activated be clicking either the ‘Full Screen’ link on the ‘View’ menu or by hitting the F11 key. 
  3. Rich Media (add JavaScript) – JavaScript enabled browsers bring the site to life adding  numerous functional and stylistic enhancements that add a heightened aphetic of the user experience
  4. Rich Media (add Flash) - If like the majority of Internet users you are running a browser that is JavaScript enabled and has the latest Flash plug-in installed you will enter the site in its fully enhanced state. Flash allows content to exhibited in such a fashion that it can represent the brand in a much truer and more accurate way than HTML can alone. This makes viewing in this state the recommended and definitive way to experience the website
