Accessibility

We have implemented the following accessibility features on this website to make it easier to use for people with disabilities.

Navigation shortcuts

At the start of every page is a short menu that allows you to jump directly to the most important parts of the page, including main content and navigation. Each of these also has an access key associated with it.

Sighted users who use the keyboard to navigate will see these links appear on screen when using the Tab key to navigate through the page.

Access keys

Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use the mouse for navigation in browsers that support them.

  • In Internet Explorer on Windows, you can press ALT + an access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.
  • On Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.

The following access keys are available throughout this website:

  • S - Skip navigation
  • 1 - Home page
  • 2 - About Mark Boulton Design
  • 3 - Work
  • 4 - Clients
  • 5 - Jobs
  • 6 - News
  • 7 - Copyright
  • 8 - Privacy
  • 9 - Accessibility information

These access keys have been chosen to follow the recommended UK government accesskeys standard, in order to support the adoption of a useful standard. Wherever possible, they also avoid conflicting with commonly-used screen reader keyboard shortcuts.

Well Structured Markup

HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles, and so on.

Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily (accesskey S).

W3C Guidelines

This site is authored in accordance with worldwide accessibility standards published by the W3C.
