Habinteg strives to make its services accessible and usable for all users. The Habinteg website has features that allow its users to find the information they need in the way they find easiest.
This website has been built to comply with the World Wide Web Consortiums WCAG AAA standard and has the following features.
The Habinteg site is built using xhtml and cascading style sheets. This creates a fast loading website that is accessible to screen readers and is usable in most browsers, including older browsers and browsers available on non-Windows systems.
The site has a text size switcher. By clicking on the plus and minus in the accessibility toolbox you can make the text a size that you can read comfortably.
The site is designed to stretch with the text. This preserves the layout assuring that the site remains usable at different text sizes.
Habinteg offer a text only version of our site with options to change foreground and background colours. It provides a faster browsing experience for those using mobile devices or on slow connections. The site can be read whatever size and type of screen you use. To change to text only click the link in the accessibility toolbox.
A skip navigation link is placed before the main navigation so screen reader and text browser users can skip straight to the content.
