Site Accessibility
List-Logic is committed to ensuring that the websites we develop, including this one, are accessible to everyone. If you do encounter any difficulties using this site, please contact us, and we will make every effort to improve the site.
This statement applies to www.list-logic.co.uk and all pages within it, but not any external business links outside of our control / ownership.
A good starting point for an accessible website is using valid XHTML and CSS, following the standards set out by the W3C, but we understand that valid markup doesn't necessarily mean an accessible business site.
We test our sites, and aim for best business practice standard presentation, using Internet Explorer, Firefox (a mozilla/gecko-based browser), Opera and Konqueror/Safari. Opera and Firefox both offer style-less and text-only views, and these are used to allow us to see our sites as a user of a text-based browser would.
Business Links and Navigation
Links, when we consider it appropriate, contain additional information in their 'title' attributes. This appears as a tooltip in most modern browsers, screen-readers can generally be setup to read this information.
The phrases which make up links are chosen in such a way that they should make sense independent of any context they appear in. The benefit of this, is that many screen-readers, and some browsers, allow for the listing of, and iteration through, all of the links within a page. Having links such as 'Click Here' will be meaningless in such a situation.
Links within this business site will not open in new windows. If you wish to open a link in a separate window, to allow you to continue browsing the List-Logic site, then Shift+Click will do this in most browsers.
As is normally the case with websites, the primary navigation is located at the top of the page. For users of screenreaders though, we appreciate that waiting while the same information is read on every page is undesirable, and so there is a 'Skip Navigation' link as one of the first page-elements. Clicking this link (or pressing Enter in most screen-readers) will continue past the navigation and begin with the main page content.
Site Presentation
Any standard compliant browser should display this business site as the designer intended, however the entirety of the content is accessible using any browser or other internet device.
Font sizes are specified in relative units, which means that increasing the browser's font size ('View' and then 'Text Size' in Internet Explorer and Firefox) will scale all text accordingly.
Acronyms and abbreviations are generally tagged accordingly, with explanations contained in the 'title' attribute. This is, by default, shown in browsers with a dotted underline, and holding the mouse over the element will display the meaning. Screen-readers can be setup to read the explanation as well as, or instead of, the abbreviation or acronym.
The presentation of the site is handled by stylesheets that allow for elegant design, without the 'clutter' of tables. There is a separate stylesheet for printing that removes the images, colours and navigation, that will be utilised automatically by modern browsers. As a last resort, every page in the site can be viewed as text-only, with only standard document formatting such as headings, paragraphs and links.
Images
This site uses no images that aren't purely for presentation that both text-based browsers and screen-readers can be set to understand.
In those rare instances where an image is used as content, then we follow the WAI guidelines, by providing 'alt', 'title' and 'longdesc' information where it is appropriate.
