Validation

AvBuyer always aims to ensure that the site has been built in accordance with best practices for accessibility and web standards.

Practical measures on this site include the following:

Browsers

We have tried to ensure that AvBuyer works on all popular browsers and platforms. However, for full functionality and accessibility we recommend the use of a compliant browser such as:

Accessible design

Internet users with disabilities can find websites difficult and sometimes impossible to use simply because of the way they are designed and coded.

This website has been designed and coded to be as accessible as possible and to be compatible with the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities, including screen readers.

As such visitors can control the size of the text and can use 'access keys' on the keyboard rather than the mouse to navigate through the pages, colours chosen for text and titles are bold and contrast with their backgrounds and more:

Resizable fonts

You may change the font size by using the preferences in yourbrowser. In Internet Explorer, select View, then Text Size, and then your preferred size. In Firefox select View, then Text Size, and then increase or decrease to the desired size.

Internal navigation links

At the start of every page are invisible links providing direct access to content each with accesskeys. When keyboard-navigating, however, the links become visible – try tabbing through the links on the page.

Form tabbing and on-focus highlighting

Forms on this site can be tabbed through in sequence, and also in modern browsers (such as Firefox) the field that has focus will be highlighted.

Standards Compliance

All pages should validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and use structured semantic markup. The CSS also validates.

Our pages conform to Level AA compliance as specified by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 and endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind.

We strive to obey the spirit of the UK Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and the USRehabilitation Act 1998, Section 508 with respect to the provision of services online, as required by the Disability Rights Commission.
