We aim to make sure everyone can use our site
This page contains information and guidance to help visitors with disabilities use this site. We aim to fully follow the W3C’s web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG). If you experience any difficulties accessing our content, or downloading files, please contact the web team for assistance: info@audleygroup.com.
Viewing pages
This website is designed to display well at all screen sizes, from phones to UHD monitors. Our colour palette, page layout and typography are all designed to be easily readable for most users, and to enable users of assistive technologies (such as screen readers) to browse efficiently. All features of the site are available via the keyboard as well as pointing devices. We use HTML5 semantic markup and responsive web design to ensure that all our content is available to all users of our site.
Text size and contrast
We use the Gotham sans serif font, which features low stroke-contrast with optimised character size and spacing to promote online readability. If it’s still too small for you to read comfortably, your web browser’s accessibility features (such as text-zoom) should all work correctly.
Most browsers for laptops and desktops will let you zoom by holding down the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Apple) and pressing the plus or minus keys. Pinch-zoom on phones and tablets should also work normally.
Most modern browsers have additional accessibility features. To find out more, please use the following links:
Your device’s operating system will have built-in accessibility features too. For support in using them, check the device or system’s support page.
Popular third-party screen readers include:
PDF files
Some of our documents are available in Portable Document Format (file names end in “.pdf”). Modern browsers may open these files natively but if yours doesn’t, the free Adobe Reader app is available for most platforms. Check your app store or visit the Adobe website.
PDF files should open in a new window, so that you don’t lose your place on the website. Links to these files are formatted to allow screen readers to announce this feature.
Further help with accessibility
AbilityNet is a UK organisation set up to promote digital accessibility for all. As well as its own resources, it maintains a list of useful links on accessibility topics.
