Website accessibility

The Wightlink website conforms to compliance as specified by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We use: clear, simple and easily understandable language; common web conventions; and validated HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). We avoid the use of blinking or flickering elements.

We have chosen a font which people find easy to read on screen and set it against background colours that give good contrast.
