We have tried to design the Hindu Forum website to make it as accessible as possible but still visually interesting. To do this we have included a variety of features which are summarised below.
- Images and Alt tags
- Resizable Text
- Coding to Standards
- Consistent Navigation
Images and Alt Tags
We have avoided using excessive graphics within the web site where possible to ensure quick download times and access to information which cannot be read when in image format.
Re sizable Text
We have been careful to make sure that we haven't fixed the size of the textual information on the web site so that visitors who wish to, can alter the font size on the screen to make it easier to read. There are a number of ways to change the text size in your browser, the easiest way is to follow the following steps: (In Internet Explorer)
Step 1: Select the "View" menu.
Step 2: Select the "Text Size" option from the menu.
Step 3: Click on the text size you want to view.
It is also possible to increase the size of the text by holding down the ctrl key on the bottom left hand row of the key board whilst using the scroll wheel on the mouse to increase (or decrease) the size of the text.
