Accessibility statement
All Hudson websites using the “hudson.com” domain have been designed and
developed to achieve Priorities 1 and 2 of the W3C Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines
(AA compliance).
Our accessibility programme is part of a continued development process and will continue to drive the way we develop our online presence. Below is an outline of the steps we have taken to ensure we achieve the checkpoints outlined above.
Navigation
Navigation is based on JavaScript, but all pages are accessible without JavaScript.
JavaScript
All pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported.
Links
Some links use title attributes to describe the link, while titles are written to make sense of context.
Images
Every image conveying information uses ALT attributes to describe the image in text format, enabling screen readers to read it. Decorative images contain empty ALT attributes.
Downloads/PDFs
If you don’t have software/plug-in to display PDF documents, you can use Adobe® conversion online tools or
download and install Adobe
Acrobat Reader.
Colour
Foreground and background combinations provide sufficient contrast and colour difference to enable colour blind users to make senses of the sites.
Text sizing
The size of all text is defined in relative units, so its size can be changed
using standard browser tools.
To change text size;
- Mozilla, MSIE: Hold CTRL key and roll mouse wheel, or use menu item view/text size
- Opera: Hold CTRL key and roll mouse wheel, or use menu item view/zoom
Useful tools
- Online Lynx
viewer allows users to see pages without images/styles/scripts.
- Jaws Screen Reader is the world’s most popular screen
reader and works with your PC to provide access to software applications and
the Internet.
- Adobe® conversion online tools
convert to text Adobe PDF files in English and most Western European
languages.
