At Keeping and Company our aim is to make our website as accessible as possible to the widest range of
visitors and customers.
This means considering the specific needs of those with visual or physical impairments, learning difficulties
and other forms of disability. In addition it means having an understanding of different browser technologies.
We produced our site to meet current best practices and guidelines.
The benefits of this approach:
Sites are available to as wide an audience as possible and across a variety of technologies. They will also be accessible to future devices. Sites meet guidelines for those users who may have impairments and difficulties using the web. Sites load quicker and use less bandwidth.
How do we do it?
We follow what are known as 'Web Standards'. In the past many web browsers were released that did not
follow a common standard for interpreting web pages; they focused on their own propriety code. The result
was that we had to sometimes make several different versions of one site for all the various browsers and
there would often be inconsistencies across these sites.
In recent years the makers of web browsers have adopted and brought in support for an open set of
standards. These standards are laid down by the W3C, a not for profit organisation, that oversees the
development of the web.
There is now a move towards this standard based approach method of building websites and Keeping and
Company is proud to be working in this way.

Changing the Text Size
Your browser supports a range of text sizes which can make text more readable. To change your font size go to the View menu and select a new size from the Text Size sub-menu. If the biggest size your browser
supports is not big enough then you can use the stylesheet switcher above to boost the sizes further.
XHTML / CSS Based Design
By using the latest standardised web development practices we seperate content from presentation and
allow specialist browsers to display our content in their browsers with even greater compatibility.
Alternative Image Text
An effort is made to ensure that all images within the site contain alt tags. If they are layout only images, they
contain empty alt tags so that special browsers know to skip over them.
