Alt-Web Accessibility Policy
Alt-Web is committed to making web sites that are user friendly for all people - including those with disabilities. Here are just a few ways in which we accomplish this.
Scalable Text 
Some people require larger text. This site is built to render well with small or large text sizes. To increase text size from your keyboard, hold down the Ctrl or Apple Key and hit the plus sign (Ctrl++). To make text smaller, press Ctrl+minus sign (Ctrl+-). For normal text size, press Ctrl+zero (Ctrl+0).
If you use Internet Explorer or a handheld device, use your browser's View Menu > Text Size > Select Larger or Smaller Text.
Display Size
This site has been designed to perform well on all screen sizes and resolutions.
Navigational Aids
Some people can't use a mouse. This site can be navigated by using the keyboard Arrow keys, Tab, Shift+Tab and Enter keys.
The bread-crumb trail at the top of the page should help you understand where you are in relation to the home page. This is particularly useful if you have entered the site via your bookmarks, a link from another web site or search engine.
Supported Web Browsers
This web site has been built to perform well in all modern browsers.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6+ 
Firefox 1.2+ 
Safari 
Opera 
Netscape 8+ 
Mozilla/Sea Monkey
This web site works with older text-based browsers too, however pages may appear as un-styled, black and white documents as shown here.
CSS instead of Tables
This site uses CSS instead of tables for positioning elements on pages. From a usability standpoint, tables can pose problems for certain translating and web assisting devices. That is not to say that we do not occasionally use tables in our web sites. We do use them for tabular data or lists but not for page layouts or navigation elements.
