How to make changes in your web browser to customise your viewing of this website.

This web site has been designed with our customers in mind.
 I am always looking for ways to improve the web site,
 making it easy to use with the following guidelines.
 The guidelines include:
 
 Designing the site for an 800x600 view
 so horizontal scrolling is not required,
 even for users with small screens.
 Using meaningful ALT text for all images
 to provide descriptive text.
 
 Providing text versions of all our pages
 for easy use by speech readers.
 
 Avoiding the use of frames, which are difficult
 for special browsers to interpret.
 
 Using an easy-to-see web colour scheme.
 Using an easier to read non-serif font type, size and colour.
 
 Changing your browser settings. 
 
 If you want to alter the way you view any web site,
 from the size of text to the colour of hyperlinks,
 you can change some of the options in your Internet browser.
 To change settings on the latest version of Netscape
 or Internet Explorer, follow the instructions for
 your browser type and version below.
 These settings should work on most web sites
 but they won't affect images on the screen.
