Koi Dome.com accessibility

Please see below for our efforts to ensure our website is Accessibility compliant, as it is important to us to offer each and every one of our customers a rewarding experience when visiting our website.  Please also note that we include a complete sitemap of our website contents here.

Cross browser compatibility

Our website has been tested for compatibility on both Windows and Macintosh platforms, and is compliant with the following browsers : Internet Explorer 6.0+, Mozilla Firefox 1.0+, Opera 9.x and Netscape Navigator 9.x.

Although some of the above mentioned browsers may display things slightly differently from one another, these changes are merely cosmetic and will not hinder the usability in any way.

Accessibility Laws

Our website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and we are confident that it meets at least the minimum requirements (Priority 1) as well as the majority of Priority 2 & 3.

Scripts and Plugins

The use of client-side scripts in this site (e.g. Javascript) has been kept to an absolute minimum, therefore any users who have scripting capabilities disabled will still be able to access our website without any problems whatsoever.

Images

All images used on this site have ALT tags in order to provide an appropriate description of the image (or function behind it, in the case of images used as links), again, for those visitors with visibility difficulties or have graphics switched off on their browsers.

Page Layouts, Text and other Styles

The overall layout for pages on this site is created in valid XHTML and uses DIVs rather that tables to control positioning of elements.

External CSS stylesheets are used to control the overall layout of the page and the text styles throughout, including colouring and positioning. If stylesheets are disabled in the browser, pages are still readable and fully functional.

All pages are 'in-line', no 'pop-up' windows are ever spawned, and any further windows are only opened on user request.

No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.

Our pages are designed so that they are without horizontal scrollbars when they are viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or higher.
