Many people with disabilities can find websites difficult to use simply because of the way they are designed and built. Horizons Research is committed to providing services that are helpful to all our users, and this includes providing an accessible website.
We have built this website to be compatible with adaptive technologies. All the pages on our website conform to at least the level A standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), with a high proportion conforming to the AA standard.
Guidance on using this website
Font size
Use your browser to set the text size. This can normally be done via the browser’s View menu (Go to ‘View’, choose ‘text size’, and select the appropriate font size, for example ‘Larger’).
Page structure
Each page on our website includes a clear heading. Any consequent headings are introduced in a structured hierarchy, and are clearly marked up using ‘h1’ and ‘h2’ tags etc.
Links
We try to ensure that link text makes sense out of context and that it accurately describes the pages it points to. You can use the tab key on your keyboard (as well as your mouse) to move consecutively from link to link.
Images
A description of every image is provided, either in the alt tag or on the page itself.
