Accessibility
Network recognises that accessibility is important to make some users' web experience easy and enjoyable. That's why, where possible we've made all our content accessible regardless of browser, disability or technologies available.
User interface
Our website uses an array of imagery, animation, pop-ups and other various CSS and JavaScript effects. CSS and JavaScript are used to improve your overall user-experience, however, we realise that not everyone wishes to use these technologies, and so the overall majority of our website will still function without these enabled.
Our portfolio page relies on Adobe Flash technology. Adobe Flash is ideal for grabbing a user's attention with its vector animation ability - it's understandable why we use it. We realise that Adobe Flash player isn't supported on some devices E.g. Apple iPhone, Apple iPad etc. However, most other browsers support Adobe Flash player. You can download Adobe Flash Player here
Features
Our main navigation is accessible via the following keys:
- Home - H
- About Us - A
- News - N
- Porfolio - P
- Knowledge Centre - K
- Clients - X
- Contact - C
With so many browsers having different accessibility keys, it is not feasible for us to list them all and their settings here. However, most browsers work on a 2-key method via the keyboard. Our links should be accessible by either pressing and holding ALT or CTRL and the Accessibility key (listed above) together. E.g. in Mozilla FireFox, pressing and holding CTRL along with C would take you to our contact page.
Where possible, our GUI contains title and/or alt attributes to summarise in text what the original image/element depicts.
Adjusting text size
Most browsers support a 'zoom' functionality. This is usually accessible by pressing and holding ALT or CTRL along with + or - (+ to increase, - to decrease) depending on browser and operating system.
Browser support
We do our best to make all our websites render the same across all major browsers. However, some browsers are so out-dated they just don't understand how to parse the code being passed to them, resulting in an incorrect render of a website. At Network, we do our utmost to make all our websites W3C valid, but at times the occasional 'fix' or 'hack' to make our websites render properly will invalidate a section of the code (usually the CSS) resulting in the site not being fully W3C valid. Our HTML will always be valid.
