Web site accessibility

The Paterson Arran web site includes a number of features to make the information it contains as widely available and open as possible for the greatest number of visitors.

Web standards

This web site was built with web standards (as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)) in mind.

Style sheets

Style sheets are used on this web site to make the text, graphics and photographs appear as the web site is intended to look, as well as maintaining a consistent layout and design. You can turn style sheets off if you wish; all of the content will still be available to you.

Semantic XHTML markup has been used to layout the content of each page in a sensible and orderly manner should style sheets be unavailable or disabled.

Should you wish, you can also override any style on this web site by setting your own styles as part of the #com-wildaboutoats-www style.


Image alternatives

Should your browser software not be capable of displaying images, an alternative description is made available for those images that contain useful information. Purely decorative images have alternative descriptions where appropriate.

Images that contain a large amount of information may have a longer description available on a separate page.
