Making www.theAA.com accessible to all
>Accessibility < | Browser & Accessibility Features
Many Internet users with disabilities find web sites difficult or even impossible to use simply because of the way they are designed. We are working hard at the AA to provide services and products that are helpful to all our customers, and this goes for the website, too.
We are aware of the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities and have redesigned pages to ensure compatibility with as many of these systems as possible. Changes include keeping text clear (italic fonts can be hard to read) and making sure links adequately describe where they go ('click here' does not mean much in isolation).
We have rebuilt the site to meet Web Accessibility Initiative {WAI) Content Accessibility Guidelines set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and we aim, wherever possible, to ensure we conform to 'Double-A' standards. You can find out more about the initiative on W3C's website (link opens a new window).
