The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s ‘Oriel y Parc’ website has been designed and developed to provide users with a more enjoyable interactive experience of the Oriel y Parc gallery and visitor centre and to find out more about the National Park Authority’s new building. The new site is designed to be inclusive and to provide access to all users regardless of technological or physical disability.
Not only is there a legal obligation for the content of the site to be made accessible to disabled users (Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995), but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority also has a duty to the communities of the National Park.
W3C Compliance
In order to ensure that the content of this site is accessible, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s ‘Oriel y Parc’ website has been designed and constructed in accordance with the guidelines provided by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
The WAI guidelines state that in order for a website to be considered accessible, it must at least conform to all Priority 1 checkpoints. All templates on this website conform to not only all the Priority 1 checkpoints, but also to all Priority 2 checkpoints. This is known as 'Double A conformance' to the guidelines. We believe that, by aiming for Double A conformance wherever possible, we have built a website that will be accessible by the vast majority of users, whatever their platform, connectivity and abilities.
All templates have been Bobby approved to priority 2 (AA) and all warnings identified by Bobby have been manually checked for conformance.
Visual design
Colours – We have tried to use colours throughout the website that provide maximum contrast between foreground and background items and also various features on the page including headers, body text and hyperlinks.
Images – All interface graphics and images throughout the website have been assigned an Alt-text attribute, which describes the contents or function of the item.
Visual design – Style-sheets have been used for all visual items and text. This means that you can change the text size form within the browser by selecting "View" and then "Text size".
