Website Accessibility

How can I make the pages easier to access and view?

In most browsers there are options that can be set to improve accessibility. In Internet Explorer select Tools from the menu at the top of the screen, and then select Internet Options. Click the Accessibility button and there will be a number of options you can turn on or off. For example, you can override the size settings of a web page so that you can to choose the size you require.

The size of the text can be increased in most browsers as well. In Internet Explorer select View from the menu and then Text size. Try different sizes until you find the one that matches your individual requirements (the formatting of some pages may be slightly disrupted by using very large text settings).
