Accessibility

At Signs of Self, we are committed to providing a web site that are accessible to everyone as much as possible. Where possible, we have followed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), to ensure that our website is designed and written in a way that makes it easy to access for everyone.

Simple language
We use simple language that is easy to understand and attempt to avoid the use of jargon, acronyms and abbreviations.

Navigation
- Navigation menus are consistent throughout the site.
- Links are visually distinctive and link text clearly describes their purpose
- Descriptive page titles are used, along with a breadcrumb trail and color coding to help users identify where they are in the site.
- At the bottom of each page is a small site map.

Font and text size
We've used fonts and text sizes that we think are clear and easy to read. Text can be re-sized using normal browser controls.

Colors
We use strong color contrasts for all text and background colors.

Images, video and other non-text element
Alternative text has been provided for all graphics, symbols or images so that people who cannot see this content can read the text

Tables
Where we use tables to display data, the table structure is described to assist those using screen reading devices. Tables are not used for presentational layout.

Tools
All tools and calculators can be used without pointing devices, such as a mouse or trackpad.

Feedback
We're always looking for ways to make our website easier for our customers to use. Please let us know if you experience any problems in using it, or if you have any questions or comments about accessibility.
