Accessibility
Standards
This website has been developed for all persons including those with special needs. The most recent and universal accessibility standards have been used to allow for a better navigation experience, independent of the users limitations.
Our intention is to create a website which conforms to the WCAG 1.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0) guidelines and W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) specifications. We use HTML 4.01 and CSS standards. We are not responsible for content which by its nature is not accessible to certain users, for example, our videos. The website is optimized for Internet Explorer 7.0 or newer versions, a resolution of 1024x768 pixels, and character viewability of medium option.
