Accessibillity
Accessibility features and considerations
1. The page content is organised with a logical hierarchy of headings, using H-tags to group and nest information effectively. We welcome your feedback on any headings that seem unclear or misplaced.
2. Hyperlinks embedded within the text are distinguished by underlines, ensuring they’re identifiable without relying solely on colour differences.
3. All images are accompanied by descriptive ALT tags and filenames that accurately represent their content. Given the many images, we appreciate any oversights being brought to our attention.
4. The website’s layout and text are designed to be responsive, maintaining readability and usability when resized using browser controls or keyboard shortcuts.
5. Text is displayed in a minimum 22-point font size with adequate weight, ensuring comfortable reading across various devices and viewing distances without straining eyes or posture.
6. We’ve implemented high-contrast colour ratios for text, avoiding extreme contrasts to enhance readability and viewing comfort.
7. Any colour-coded notifications or error messages are supplemented with meaningful symbols, text, and tags for clarity.
8. A dark mode option is available via a toggle in the footer navigation, reducing excessive screen brightness.
9. Our design philosophy excludes distracting animations, moving text, or intrusive features and advertisements that could hinder user experience.
10. Sponsored content, if present, is clearly labelled as such and distinguished from regular content.
11. Audio and video content never starts automatically, respecting user preferences and bandwidth.
12. Our user verification processes eliminated vision-dependent CAPTCHAs and cognitive challenges.
13. External links are set to open in new browser tabs or windows, preserving your place on our site, while internal links navigate within the same tab by default.
14. Forms feature clear, purpose-driven fields with high-contrast borders, helpful instructions, and informative error messages. They’re also designed to be printable for offline completion.
15. Upon form submission, users receive both email and PDF copies for record-keeping, printing, or sharing with advisors.
16. Contact information is prominently displayed on every page, offering multiple communication channels and ensuring transparency about who you’re interacting with.
