My Web, My Way

My Web, My Way is a resource developed by the BBC which aims to give people the tools and understanding which will enable them to make the most of the world-wide web. The site provides advice and help to people who would benefit from making changes to their browser, operating system, or computer to be able to view the web in a more accessible way.

The site has been developed and maintained through a partnership between bbc.co.uk and AbilityNet It is based on AbilityNet's original My Computer, My Way site. For further information visit the My Web, My Way website.

Standards compliance

This website complies with Level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibilty Initiative Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 and with many of the features required for Level AAA compliance as well as U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines. The website is designed using valid Extensible HyperText Markup Language 1.0 (XHTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

Navigation aids

Each page contains a search box to make it easy to find information. Each page contains a 'breadcrumb trail' so that you always know where you are and can navigate easily backwards and to the home page. Clicking on the Leonard Cheshire Disability logo at the top of each page will take you back to the home page. Each page has a skip to navigation link at the top to allow users of assistive technology to skip the content and go to the navigation bar. This is also used at various points in pages with a lot of content.

Links

Links are red in colour and are underlined. All links have 'title' attributes that describe them in more details and wherever possibly links are written in context so that you do not have to read the surrounding text to know where it will take you. Links never open in a new window.

Images

All images have an 'alt' attribute that describes them in more detail.

Tables

Tables are not used for layout on this site. Where tabled are used to display data, the aim has been to make the tables as accessible as possible, using table headings and captions to explain the layout, for example. If you are finding it difficult to access any parts of the website, please email info@lcd-enar.org for content in alternative formats.
