Accessibility

Tim Berners-Lee 1 so famously said about the web: “This is for everyone.” 2 We are with him and the philosophy of the #oneweb 3 all the way. We believe that the internet with its vast content is for everyone. This means that websites need to be accessible: accessible inclusively to all people, accessible in turn to their chosen devices and accessible on connections of varying speeds.

This website has been design and built to be easy to use by everyone, across different devices and connections. We have thoroughly tested this site and aim to meet the WCAG 2.0 4 as outlined by the standards body of the W3C 5. We hope you will not have any problems perusing our content. However, it is impossible to foresee all circumstances.

If you do find any issues, we would love to know. Please get in touch and tell us ~ we’d like to fix the problem if we can.
