WAI
Most pages within the Mansfield Traquair website comply with the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Priority 1 and 2 Guidelines and some to Priority 3. To support blind users and keyboard users all pages have a 'skip to content' at the top of the page which allows blind users to skip over the navigation links to the main content of the page.
Use of text
Navigation, page titles and subtitles, links and other elements have all been created using accessible html text.
Text Size
To allow full user control over how text appears on screen, this site has been created using relative text sizes.
Colour
No information is conveyed through colour alone. Links are black in colour throughout the main page content, and are identified with an underline. The main menu items are not underlined and are white in colour and while colour is used to help identify which section of the site the user is in, the menus are structurally created to work with screenreaders.
Alt text
All content images include descriptive ALT text attributes (a tag that provides alternative text for the visually impaired).
