Accessibility
A large number of Internet users with disabilities can find websites difficult or even impossible to use because of the way that they have been designed. Eastside Community Heritage recognises the need to ensure that the website meets or exceeds the requisite standards.
The website is being developed to be as accessible as possible and to be compatible with the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities, including screen readers.
Currently we have included facilities to allow the user to change the text size through the browser and be navigable by Voice browser. We will continue to develop the website to increase the level of accessibility.
Navigating this website
To navigate through this website, please use the menu on the top of the page and on the right hand side.

Style sheets
Users may import their own style sheet into the website. In Internet Explorer select Tools, then Internet options, and then Accessibility.

In the same window you can change the style sheet by clicking the checkbox that says 'Format document using my style sheet' then browse to your preferred style sheet and click OK.
