Browser accessibility features
This site has been designed to work with browser accessibility features where possible. You should be able to change the font size using your browser controls, for example. For detailed instructions, I recommend you visit the BBC's My Web My Way website.
If Internet Explorer is your browser of choice (or inertia), Microsoft's accessibility help pages might be useful reading.
Limitations on accessibility
The Javascript games depend on being able to update graphics on the screen in real time and so are unlikely to work with screenreaders. Where possible, I've made them playable using the keyboard.
Some of the website design examples use third party content or plug-ins which are likely to present accessibility problems. If they aren't working for you, please check you have Javascript enabled.
My Travel Photography map uses Google Maps. More information, including keyboard controls, is available at the Google Maps Help page.
Feedback
I'd welcome any feedback from anyone using assistive devices to visit this site. I am working to make this site as accessible as possible. Please notify me of suggested improvements and tell me about problems you encounter using this site.
