on an access policy

This is a personal website so I do not have a formal access policy as such. However, I will as far as is posible follow good practice to maximise accessibility.

In particular I will:

avoid graphical links (all thumbnails are accompanied by text links) & imagemaps
place a text navigation bar (including a skip navigation link) at the top of every page
format all text through external style sheets using commonly available fonts
make text easily distinguishable against a clear background colour
use ACCESSKEY attributes for homepage, what’s new and mailto links on every page
use the ALT attribute to label and describe all images.

But as the site is basically a photogallery with some supporting text, there are limits to how accessible I can make it for someone with impaired vision.

If anyone has suggestions for improving the accessibility of this site, please email me: I’d be happy to consider them and implement them where they are practical for me to do so.
