Accessibility Statement

This is the official accessibility statement for www.aardman.com

Restrictions of this statement
Large portions of this site are Macromedia flash based, while we have attempted to implement all of the below features within Flash, many are unfortunately restricted to the xHTML or text pages only.

While we appreciate this isn't an ideal situation we believe that as an animation company Flash offers the most effective method of showcasing our work.

Where possible however we have provided fully compliant xHTML and text versions of each page of our site.

Access keys Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + access key.

All major pages on this site define the following access keys:

Access key 1 - Home page
Access key 2 - Studio Information
Access key 3 - Shop
Access key 4 - Business Stuff
Access key 5 - Character Sites
Access key 6 - Aardcards
Access key 7 - Showreel

Standards compliance

All pages are constructed in XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Whilst many pages are already fully compliant, we are working hard to provide full compliancy across the site for xHTML, Bobby and WCAG

Navigation aids

All pages have rel=previous, next, up, and home links to aid navigation in text-only browsers. Netscape 6 and Mozilla users can also take advantage of this feature by selecting the View menu, Show/Hide, Site Navigation Bar, Show Only As Needed (or Show Always).

Links

Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).

Links are written to make sense out of context.

Images

All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.

Visual design

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
