Using the Site

We have aimed to create a site that is available to everyone including those with sight, audio and motor impairment restrictions.

• We aim to use a web font so all text is easy to read.
• We have appropriate alt tags for images to convey information.
• We ensure that navigation through our website works in a consistent way.
• We do not rely on just colour as the only way of giving information.
• We avoid the use of images of text wherever possible, and provide equivalent text links that consist of images.

Here are a few helpful ways in which you can start using the website more easily.

How the Site is built for Accessibility

Standards

We have endeavoured to ensure all pages on this site comply with priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Whilst we would like to say this is categorically so we cannot: many guidelines are intentionally vague and can not be tested automatically.

We have strived to make all pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Layout

The site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control most of the presentation, although the layout is formatted using tables.

As a result screen reader users can use the screen reader's navigation key to get around the site. If you are listening to the site, menus are grouped together in a more logical fashion.

Content

The content has been written and formatted to make it accessible. For example:

• Headings highlight sections of text
• Sentences are short with the meaning at the beginning
• Links use meaningful text

Access Keys

A limited range of access keys have been implemented on the Tesco.com site to allow you to navigate around the site without using a mouse.

They can be used to jump directly to different sections of the site or certain areas within a page, without having to move your mouse at all.

How to use Access Keys in your Browser

Browser	What to do
Internet Explorer 5+ (PC)	Hold down the ALT key, press the number of the access key, release both keys then press ENTER
Internet Explorer 4 (PC)	Hold down the ALT key and press the number of the access key
Internet Explorer 5+ (Mac)	Hold down the CTRL key and press the number of the access key

Please note that some assistive technology tools such as the IBM HomePage Reader and WindowEyes already make use of the alt+[access key] combinations. As such, users of these tools will not be able to use these access keys.
