Site help & Accessibility
TASK Applied Science strives to apply international standards of accessibility with the aim of optimising use for a variety of users. Our site accessibility is an organic process and will continue to improve over time.
Basic standards
The site has a clear visual hierarchy and works acceptably across target browsers. The site has a meaningful 404 page (error page) that will contain information redirecting users to other relevant areas within the site.
Images
Where possible, decorative images are in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). "alt" attributes are employed for images.
Basic usability
- Headings clearly indicate the document structure.
- Navigation is consistent throughout the site.
- The site has an easy to find sitemap and contact page.
- The site has a link to the home page on every page.
- The site is optimised for speed and page size with exceptions to the flash areas.
Accessibility for devices
- Content is accessible without CSS.
- Content is accessible without images.
- Content is meaningful in text browsers.
- Content is accessible when printed.
- The site works well in different window sizes greater than 800x600.
Site management
- The site has friendly URLs that work without "www".
Accessibility for users
- The site has sufficient colour contrasts.
- The site does not use colour alone for critical information.
Separation of content & presentation
CSS are used for presentation aspects.
If there's something about the site that you find confusing, or something that doesn't work, please let us know so that we can fix it. Please send an e-mail to info@task.org.za.
