This website is built on the Spanglefish content management system. The content should be accessible through your web browser of choice and present legibly on a monitor, laptop, tablet or other mobile device (landscape as well as portrait). It allows normal browser control over zooming and using key strokes; the website should be fully accessible using screen readers. 

Spanglefish allows site owners to manage almost all aspects of their site, the text content, the use of images, uploaded documents such as PDFs, background and text colours.

• We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website
• The Wollaton Historical & Conservation Society website should not have any areas which are inaccessible to people with disabilities
• Text should be written in as simple a way as possible whilst still conveying the correct meaning
• Uploaded and linked documents on the site, such as PDFs, should be created in an accessible way
• Images when presented singly shall be centralised to better support desktop viewing
• Drill downs through sub pages should be ordered either chronologically or alphabetically 
• Click 'here' options for links should be avoided, with links making it clear where they point to through clarity of wording
• The website administrators should take care when designing the site that good levels of contrast are used between text and background colours:
  • We will use black font in the main (against a white or neutral background) to improve accessibility and typically use dark blue headings to help locate content
  • Red fonts will be used by exception to indicate a warning or of incompletion of a posted article
• Main areas of text will be left aligned versus justified. (Justification can create uneven spacing between words, leading to "rivers of white space" that disrupt reading flow, and may be particularly challenging for individuals with dyslexia or visual stress.)
• We will use the modern electronic protocol of 1 space versus 2 spaces after a full stop (or period)
• The use of uppercase for entire words will be avoided
• The use of bold font will be minimised (as its nature is not conveyed to screen readers)
