Accessibility Statement

This section covers the features that have been implemented within this site to improve the accessibility of its contents for all users, and in particular for users with sensory or physical impairments.

Access keys

It is possible to navigate to key pages by typing keys defined on the website. Most browsers support jumping to specific links in this way. On Windows, you press ALT and a specific access key and then ENTER to select and follow the specific link. On a Mac, you press CONTROL and an access key and then Enter.

Every page on this site defines the following access keys:

Access Key 0 - Home Page

Access Key 1 - Exhibitions

Access Key 2 - Buying Paintings

Access Key 3 - Contact Ray Wilkinson

Access Key 4 - Links

Access Key 5 - Website Terms of Use

Access Key 6 - Privacy Policy

Access Key 7 - Accessing this Website

Benefits of access keys

Users with visual impairments who use text-to-speech screen readers, like JAWS, benefit from access keys. For example, when JAWS reads a link that defines an accesskey, it announces the access key as well.

Users with certain physical impairments benefit from access keys as they provide alternative and efficient forms of navigation for those users who have difficulty manipulating a mouse to navigate through a website and who prefer to navigate using their keyboard.

Summary of other Accessibility features

• Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the title of a page or section).
• This site uses cascading style sheets for its visual layout and text formatting.
• The size of all of the text on this site can be manipulated by users via the 'text size' options in visual browsers. All key content, all body text and of all of the text contained in navigation menus can be increased or decreased by users.
• If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
• All of the input elements in the forms on this site are marked up with label tags. These provide several benefits:
  - Users who have difficulty navigating through a form with a mouse can, for example, click on the text beside the form elements, such as text input boxes, in order to enter those elements.
  - The use of label tags allows screen readers to intelligently announce what a particular input element is, by reading the label.
• All tables containing key content are marked with a summary, so that screen readers and speech browsers read a description of the contents of tables when they first come across them.
