Accessibility

La Capitale is aware of the challenges related to Internet accessibility and the importance of providing everyone with equal access to information. That's why we've developed a program to continually improve the accessibility of our website.

To this end, we have:

• Structured all our pages with hierarchical headings
• Provided straightforward content for each link
• Separated the content from the structure of our site by using cascading style sheets (CSS)
• Used valid codes and style sheets
• Avoided using pop-up windows
• Avoided using data tables to present information
• Developed clear and coherent mechanisms for navigation
• Used the most straightforward language possible

We have, however, identified some inconsistencies within the site. These will be corrected in our next upgrade.

At that time, we will:

• Provide text for every image
• Clearly label form fields
• Provide a link for directly accessing content
• Configure useful keyboard shortcuts

We checked the site's accessibility using the following tools:

• W3C HTML Validator
• Firefox Version 3.6
• Internet Explorer Versions 6,7 and 8
• Google Chrome 5
• Safari 4
• Web Developer for Firefox 1.1.8 Toolbar
• Accessibility Toolbar Version 1.2 for Internet Explorer
• Color Contrast Analyser Version 1.2
• NVDA Version 2010.1
