Structure

The website has been created using modern HTML/CSS techniques. CSS (cascading stylesheets) has been used for the presentation layer. Graphics are only used for visual purposes. Any graphics used on buttons etc. are created within the CSS.

Mark-up

HTML5 roles (https://www.w3.org/wiki/PF/XTech/HTML5/RoleAttribute) have been used on the main blocks. For example, role=”navigation” is used on the primary navigation, this helps assistive technologies to highlight the correct content for the user.

Validation

Web Aria (https://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria) elements have been applied to form fields. For example, aria-required=”true” will ensure that the field is marked as required in modern browsers and will be read aloud by screen readers.

Text Resize

The text size on theccd.ie is relative. If you increase or decrease the page zoom or font the website content will change accordingly.
