Opera Accessibility
We recognize that our websites are used by a diverse audience in every sense and strive to ensure that the levels of accessibility we achieve fulfill the needs of our users. Many of our users have disabilities, which affect their experience of using the Internet and we strive to make their experience of our websites as positive as possible.
All our websites undergo thorough testing using both automated tools and manual checking because we believe that both methods have strengths and weaknesses. This testing is repeated at regular intervals and users are encouraged to feedback on current content and design. We also run user advisory groups, part of whose role is to tell us about their experience of using our websites.
Colour is an important part of design and we use it with care to provide visual cues and to ease navigation. Our colour palette has been chosen with this in mind and we implement this with particular reference to contrast.
At all times we strive to provide clear and consistent navigation, with access keys and meaningful descriptions of pages and images.
We recommend using:
Opera (8x / 9x) ), Mozilla Firefox (1.5x) or IE 6.0, 5.5 ) on PC and Safari 1.3 and Opera on Apple Mac.
Access Keys allow you to access the main navigation elements by using your keyboard. If you are using Windows on a PC, press ALT + access key, then enter/return. If you are using a Macintosh press Control + access key, then enter/return.

Alt + 1 for Home
Alt + 2 for Eating
Alt + 3 for Staying
