Accessibility Statement

We have made every effort to make this site accessible and easy to use for everyone, no matter what browser you should choose to use, your speed of internet connection or if you suffer from any disabilities.

All pages on this site should be valid to HTML 5 - the site also uses valid CSS 3 (Cascading Styles Sheets).

Links

Wherever possible links are written to make sense out of context enabling browsers such as JAWS, Lynx or Opera to extract a list of links on a page. Wherever possible link text is never duplicated on a page.

Images

All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.

Visual Design

The site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.

File Sizes

Web page file sizes are limited to a maximum of 100kb. Images and Downloadable files (in PDF, Microsoft or Open Office formats) are limited to a maximum file size of 2mb. There may be exceptions and if you have any problems downloading files larger than 2mb contact us and we will endeavour to provide alternative methods for accessing the document.

Javascript

Javascript on the Laurie Rudling website has been used to enhance the site performance and reduce page loads, disabling Javascript within your browser will affect your use of the website resulting in increased page loads and slower site use. There are instances where Javascript is used:

  • Each form on the website uses Javascript for data validation and AJAX for form submission. With Javascript disabled, this client side validation will not work and the form will still be submitted successfully and validation will take place on the server.
  • The gallery page uses Javascript to display images without reloading the page and AJAX for adding products to the basket. With Javascript disabled each work will instead load in a new window where the purchase form can be submitted manually.

Forms

There is a Contact form and purchase forms on the Laurie Rudling website and for the benefit of the mobility impaired, the Tab Order has been set to enable tabbing through the form to successive form elements. In addition Access Keys have been used, (again for each form element) beginning with 1 and progressing through the form using consecutive numbers.

Browsers

This website has been tested in a variety of modern browsers.
