Accessibility

This site's layout is designed to accommodate users who are visually impaired or have difficulties using a mouse. It is fully compatible with popular screen reading software and can be navigated using a keyboard. Coding is kept simple by using cascading style sheets, and javascript is used only for non-essential functions (mainly enlarging images).
