Accessibility
Whiland recognises the importance of providing a Web site that is accessible to everyone, particularly the
disabled. We have implemented accessibility features on whiland.co.uk to make it easier for people with
disabilities to use.
Access keys
Access keys are simple keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use a mouse for navigation. In most
PC-based browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer), you press Alt then the access key (e.g., Alt then 0) then Enter. In
most Mac-based browsers (e.g., Safari), you press
 then the
access key (e.g.,
then 0).
Unfortunately, not all browsers support access keys.
The following access keys are available throughout whiland.co.uk:
0 = Accessibility
1 = Homepage
2 = About us
3 = News
4 = Shop online
5 = Contact us
6 = View your order
7 = Checkout
8 = Privacy Policy
9 = Terms of Use

Small / medium / large text size
If you have difficulty viewing the main content at its default text size, click on a larger 'T' icon (at the
bottom of every page). This increases the text size by 1 px (medium) or 2 px (large). You can also click a
smaller 'T' icon to go back down.
Your preference is remembered for up to a year, or until your browser's cache of cookies is cleared.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
In order to conform to Level A of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, we:
- Avoid causing the screen to flicker.
- Clearly identify changes in the natural language of a document.
- Ensure information conveyed with colour is also available without colour.
- Ensure that equivalents for dynamic content are updated at the same time.
- Ensure that pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not
supported. If this is not possible, provide the equivalent information on an alternative accessible page.
- For any time-based multimedia presentation (e.g., an animation or movie), synchronize equivalent
alternatives (e.g., captions) with the presentation.
- For data tables that have two or more levels of row or column headers, use mark-up to associate data cells
and header cells.
- For data tables, identify row and column headers.
- Make programmatic objects directly accessible with assistive technologies (if functionality is important).
- Organize documents so they may be read without style sheets (e.g., when a document is rendered without its
style sheet, it should still be possible to read the document).
- Provide a text equivalent for every non-text element (e.g., animations, audio, images, movies,
programmatic objects, and video).
- Provide an auditory description of the important information of the visual track of every multimedia
presentation (e.g., an animation or movie).
- Provide client-side image maps instead of server-side image maps, except where the regions cannot be
defined with an available geometric shape.
- Use the clearest and simplest language appropriate for a site's content.
