Layout

Across the board, we aim to produce a web layout which is structured, logical and clear.

We use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and standardised formatting through its host, Squarespace, to ensure all content is accessible. The layout of this website is universally optimised for mobile.

Content

We've designed the website content to be as accessible as possible, including clear narrative, structure, colour usage and logical link mapping. Steps we've taken to this end include:

• clear, accurate and concise headings;

• clear language and syntax;

• colours used are contrasting and consistent;

• images used fit the narrative conveyed by accompanying text;

• removal of dead links and any illogical steps in the sitemap.

Downloads

Occasionally, you may need to access .pdf documents to view content from on our website.

In some cases, we have embedded .pdf files into the webpage itself, making it easy to access the content contained within the .pdf file, in-browser. Typically, we have made all external and .pdf links open in a new browser tab, so you can easily carry on where you left off after you have accessed the .pdf content.

Sometimes, you may need to download the .pdf documents for viewing on your computer or mobile device. One free .pdf reader is Adobe Reader, which can be downloaded here.
