Better Internet Accessibility for Members

This page has been set up to encourage members to explore and adopt improved accessibility technologies so they may gain even greater enjoyment from using computers and internet communication. While some accessibility functions are already available on most computers, other applications may need to be installed.

Web-site designers can also provide improved access for a better viewing and perceptive experience of their pages. As an example, modern techniques that provide better accessibility for people have hearing, vision, cognitive and physical impairments, are incorporated in this webpage.

This page also has these additional enhancements:

• Three alternative contrasting theme colours that are AAA compliant.
• Site and page navigation using the Tab key.
• Sound enabled.

Furthermore, regular checks are made on external help site links to remove any that have been closed and revise those that get redirected over time.

What is WAVE and how do I use it?

WAVE is a tool to help web developers make their web content more accessible. WAVE cannot tell you if your web content is accessible. Only a human can determine true accessibility. But, WAVE can help you evaluate the accessibility of your web content.

Our philosophy is to focus on issues that we know impact end users, facilitate human evaluation, and to educate and inform about web accessibility.

WAVE is easy to use. To use the form at https://wave.webaim.org/, simply enter a the web page address of your page and submit the form. There are also Firefox and Chrome extensions for evaluating local, dynamic, or password-protected pages and site-wide WAVE tools for easily evaluating numerous pages.
