Access - by Design

• We recommend that you view the site using Internet Explorer 7+ or FireFox 2.0+ to view our sites
• All our site have active Site Maps that allow quick keyboard-only navigation (or ‘tabbing’)
• You may be supprised to learn that we currently do not use Access keys (keyboard shortcuts). Our research suggests that these may be counter-productive as shortcuts determined by a specific websites are usually:
  • Not consistent with other website (and therefore confusing)
  • Often override the users own existing shortcuts and so actually hinder navigation.

  Instead, we recommend:

• Using keyboard tabs
• Predetermining your own keyboard shortcuts and access keys
• and using Site Maps.
