The Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) recognises
that sight impaired Internet users can find websites difficult or
even impossible to use because of the way that they have been
designed. This website has been developed using suggested best
practices in order to promote accessibility.
The site is constructed in such a way that screen readers can
navigate the site successfully. This includes adding descriptive
text to navigable images and summary text in the website code for
tables included on the site. Also, the content of the site can be
read in a logical manner, even when styles are disabled.
The main body copy is scaleable so that it can be increased in size
if necessary without affecting the site's appearance. Also, the
colours of the text and background contrast sufficiently so that
legibility is optimised and navigable links use visual identifiers
that are not reliant on colour alone.
