This website was specifically designed to make it accessible to anyone who wants to reach its content through a common browser or other medium, whether they have a disability or not.
1. Help
The homogeneous navigation at the top includes a link to the help page and the sitemap. The help menu includes detailed information on accessibility.
2. Images
The use of images has been kept to a minimum and they offer alternative text (alt tags).
3. Text
Text has been formatted using a cascading style sheet (CSS), with black text on a white background for optimal contrast that is easy to read. The font size has been set using relative values. This allows users to set a larger text size in their browser preferences.

7. Opening a new window
Links to external websites and files to be downloaded, such as PDF files, are clicked and opened in a new browser. This allows you to switch from the Arait Multimedia website to the new window and vice versa.
Links to a “printable version” also open in a new window to present the content in a format which is optimized for printing.
8. Hotkeys
Hotkeys are common in Internet browsers. If you do not have the exact version of a particular browser, some of these hotkeys may not work, if any.
