Accessibility Information

The site has been designed with accessibility in mind. Pages should meet a minimum of WAI priority one checks. The following is a summary of the available features:

  • If you have difficulty reading the text, you can scale the font size by adjusting your browser's default font up or down. In Internet Explorer this can be acheived by using the Menu option View > Text Size and selected a suitable size. In Mozilla, CTRL and + will increase text size. Users with Javascript enabled can also increase font sizes using the links to the left of the page.
  • For Dyslexic readers a cream/blue colourscheme is provided to aid readability. You can switch to it using the link on each page if you have Javascript enabled (this is the default for most browsers). Some browsers detect the alternative stylesheets automatically and will allow you to switch between them in their interface.
  • If you are using an Aural Browser, a "skip to content" link is provided on every page to skip over repetitive navigation.
  • Access keys are provided for quick movement around the main navigation (See below for more information)

Access Keys

Access keys enable quick movement between navigational elements using combined keypresses. In Internet Explorer the key used is the "alt" key. The following access keys can be used for quick navigation:

  • alt and a - about the allegro (history)
  • alt and b - books and literature
  • alt and c - Allegro Club International link
  • alt and e - events list link
