The
There's More To It Than You Think website has been developed to comply as closely as possible with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) -
Web Content Accessibility Guideline 2.0
In particular the following criteria have been addressed:
Perceivable Images / Multimedia / flash / Video - All non-text content presented to the user has a text alternative that serves the equivalent purpose. All videos, except for user-generated videos, which are YouTube feeds, have a text transcript available. All time based media are presented with a play, pause and stop function, ensuring users are able to read and use content. The technology is supported in a widely-distributed plug-in that is also accessibility supported. The homepage has been designed using Flash and is best viewed using a browser with a Flash player plug-in installed. To get Flash Player, go to:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
However an alternative homepage without Flash elements has been designed to accessible to users without Flash Player, using a browser that does not support Flash Player or users with low bandwidth internet connection.
Text - A resize text tool is available on each page of the website except the homepage. This tool enables users to adjust the text size and is represented by the 'T' icon on the right hand side of each page.
Operable Style-sheets - The website structure organises documents so they may be read without style sheets. For example, when an HTML document is rendered without associated style sheets, it is still be possible to read the document.
Links - The purpose of each link is determined from the link text alone or from the link text together with its programmatically determined link context, except where the purpose of the link is ambiguous to users in general.
Site map - A site map is made available to locate a web page within a set of web pages except where the web page is the result of, or a step in, a process.
Breadcrumbs - Information about the user's location within a set of web pages is available.

They are used to store information that a user has provided in order that the next time they visit the site their browser will return the cookie, allowing user to login automatically and benefit from an enhanced experience of the website functionality.
Understandable Content - All content produced on the website is clear and comprehensible. It has been written using simple and understandable language appropriate for the content. Pages appear and operate in predictable ways. Headings and labels describe topic or purpose. Web pages have titles that describe topic or purpose.
Forms - Instructions are provided when content requires user input.
Registration - A mechanism is available for reviewing, confirming, and correcting information before finalizing the submission.
