Site settings

To allow people with impaired vision, reading difficulties and the blind to access our site to the best of their ability, we have built our site with in-built display settings. These settings can be easily activated by clicking on the appropriate links at the top of every page on our site. To help you, here is an explanation of these settings and who they can support -

Graphical site

A standard layout that incorporates pictures and text of a standard size that is common on most web sites. This caters for users that have no visual impairments.

High contrast

This will turn the Aidis site into black and white, allowing greater distinction between text, pictures and the background. This has been developed to help people with dyslexia and literacy problems to read our site more clearly and accurately.

This setting will increase the size of all the text on our site, whilst still adhering to our website’s design.

Text only

 

The Text only setting will remove all pictures and page segments (frames). This setting is ideal for people who rely on screen reading software, such as people with severe visual impairments, to easily navigate around our site and have the information relayed to them in a straight forward and economical manner.

Since Aidis champions the cause of enabling people with special needs to have equal access to technology, we have put in the time and effort to make our site fully accessible to all. Due to this, we also comply with the industries’ most stringent accessibility certificates and standards.   

We also do not want to fall into the trap of being complacent and therefore actively encourage any feedback, both positive and negative, on our sites’ accessibility by the site’s viewers and users.

Text size settings

Are you having problems viewing text because of its size? Have you ever thought that it would be much easier to read what is on the screen if the text size were a little bigger? Try these steps to alter your Windows display settings and find out.

If you cannot see the text on the screen very well, you might need screen magnification software, but you should try the display settings first!

These settings can be found on any PC running the Windows operating system.

High contrast settings

Are you having problems making out text against its background? Altering the High Contrast settings may make things clearer.

Some people find using colours other than black text on a white background easier to see. A frequently used combination is yellow text on a black background. The above link will show you how to change the colour of the background and the text.

These settings can be found on any PC using the Windows operating system.
