Website Changes
There have been a large number of changes to this website. This page explains not only what has changed but why.
Disabled users (including blind users and users unable to use a mouse) please see our accessibility page (access key 0) for more detailed information.
Loading Times
One of the first things you'll notice is a dramatic increase in the speed the website now loads. This is because we have moved away from old style design methods like tables and javascript's and we have adopted a Cascading Style Sheet based design. What this means is we have not only reduced the html coding needed to load each page but the coding only needs to be loaded once. After that the pages will only need to load the text.
PDA's, Mobile phones etc use XHTML instead of HTML to view pages so we've made sure the site can be accessed by these technologies as well.
Printer Friendly Design
When you print a page or print-preview a page you will notice that all irrelevant parts of the site like links and banners have been stripped away and you're left with just the information you want printed. This will dramatically reduce ink costs. You may also notice that there are no extra "printer friendly pages" so navigation remains exactly where it's needed; in one place.
Mouse over links
We have reduced the Eighty lines of code that used to be needed for the animated mouse over links to just one line of code. We have also reduced the images needed for the effect from Twenty Two images to Zero. We used Cascading Style Sheets to achieve the same kind of effect but with no lengthy lines or code or images. This is the very cutting edge in web design.
Accessibility
This website now complies with the highest standards possible and is now accessible to all visitors. Our accessibility page gives a very detailed description of the work we have done to make this possible.
