Accessibility
Our website has been designed with the following accessibility guidelines in mind:
- All fonts used are designed to be legible, and easy to read on-screen or in printed form for all users. We have tried to make the use of these fonts consistent throughout the entire site.
- We use live text instead of graphics when possible, to reduce the download time of pages and provide more user control. This feature also allows users to view our web-based data through cell phones and PDAs.
- No information is exclusively conveyed using color. This doesn't mean that colors are not used to organize information; instead, it means there are also other, non-color-dependent ways of doing this.
- Our pages are designed to display without horizontal scrollbars when they are viewed at a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.
- All images and hyperlinks, where appropriate, have an alternative text attribute. This means when an image or hyperlink is conveying important information its content is described with an alternative text.
- We have tried to comply with Section 508 standards for website accessibility.
- If you have difficulty accessing the site please Contact Us, or send us your feedback regarding how we can improve our site.
