Design & Coding

Links are generally written to make sense out of context.
All fonts are scalable allowing users to define the base font size.
All forms are coded using LABEL and ID attributes;
The label text is not only visually associated with its corresponding text input; it is programmatically associated with it too. This means that, for example, a screen reader will read out the label when the user is focused on the form input, making it easier for an assistive technology user to understand what data should be entered.
All content images contain descriptive ALT attributes.
This site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define structure and layout. If your browser does not support CSS or if you turn disable CSS support the content of each page is still readable.
Structured semantic markup has been used for the pages. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles and so on.
