Data Recovery from Retrodata » About this Website
The following tests have been undertaken to ensure that this website conforms to accessibility guidelines:
- Tested with Delorie's Lynx viewer, a text-mode web browser.
- Tested with Bobby, WebXact and LIFT Online.
- Tested the colour contrast by printing pages in black and white.
- Tested with IBM Home Page Reader (screen reader software).
- Tested with different screen resolutions - 800x600 to 1280x1024.
- Tested with different internet browsers - Internet Explorer 5 to 6, Netscape Navigator 6 and 7, Opera 6 and 7, and Mozilla Firefox.
- Without images - an alternative text for images is displayed instead(only for images that is of importance, i.e. content and descriptive images).
- With Javascript off - it still works, the content is available and makes sense i.e. content doesn't have to rely on mouse movements for partially sighted people.
- Without Cascading Style Sheets - it still works, the content is available and makes sense in case the end user does not have a CSS compliant internet browser.
- Narrowband connections - to see if site downloads quickly on a slow internet connection.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are quite extensive, but enabling the end user to re-size the browser window and the layout, and to change the font size and colours are important factors if you want to create an accessible website. The main reason for doing this is to make the site more user-friendly and legible for the end user.
