Accessibility Statement

MyBody Studios ® recognises the importance of providing a Website that is accessible to all user groups in order to ensure that no one is excluded from the opportunity to benefit from the products we sell and information we provide.

We have implemented a range of accessibility features on this website to make it easier to use. These features, along with the accessibility features in your browser, should make the experience of visiting this site equal to all.

Accessibility features on this website

The following features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers

Navigation shortcuts?

At the start of every page is a "skip to content" link that allows you to jump directly to the main content of the page.

Sighted users who use the keyboard to navigate will see these links appear on screen when using the Tab key to navigate through the page.


Structured, semantic markup: Headings and navigation menus?

  • HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. H1 tags are used for main titles, H2 tags for subtitles, and so on.
  • Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists. This ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and it can be skipped easily.

Images

All content images used in this site include descriptive alt attributes. Purely decorative graphics include empty alt attributes.

Colours

We have checked the site's font and background colour combinations against the different colour blindness conditions and ensured that all information is still clear.

If you wish to override the site's colours, you can import your own style sheet.

Font sizes

You may change the font size of this document to your preference through your browser:

  • In Internet Explorer, select View, then Text Size, and then your preferred size.
  • In Netscape select View, then Text Zoom, and then your preferred percentage size.

If you wish to override the site's font settings, you can import your own style sheet.

Style sheets

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets at all, the use of structured semantic markup ensures that the content of each page is still readable and clearly structured.

You may import your own style sheet into this website:

  • In Internet Explorer select Tools, then Internet Options, and then Accessibility. Next click on any or all 3 checkboxes to ignore colours, font styles or font sizes. In the same window you can change your style sheet by clicking the checkbox that says, 'format document using my style sheet' then simply browse to your style sheet and click OK.
  • In Netscape select Edit, then Preferences and then Appearance. You will be given the choice to specify your own colours and fonts.

Tables

Tables are not used for layout

Forms

All forms follow a logical Tab sequence.
Labels are associated with fields using HTML label tags.

Links

Linking text has been written to make sense out of context.

Where appropriate, links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail.

Standards compliance

  • The majority of pages on our website meet level AA and AAA requirements.
  • All pages validate as XHTML 1 Transitional and use structured semantic markup. The CSS also validates.
  • While we use WebXact to test for accessibility, it is just one aspect of our testing procedure. As a computer programme, the WebXact test is not as reliable as expert evaluation.
