site accessibility

 

If you struggle generally when using websites, using a mouse or reading web text, here are a few tips on making our site more user friendly for yourself.

 

1. Make text larger

You can change the size of the text on this site in two ways.

  1. Click on the A A A resize text icons at the top of the left hand side navigation menu. You can also press ctrl + and ctrl - buttons on your keyboard (Mozilla based browsers and Safari).
  2. Set the text size in your browser (such as Internet Explorer). This is generally done in the View menu at the top left hand side of your toolbar and will work on all your web viewing.

2. Use keyboard shortcuts (access keys) to make browsing easier

You may view the access keys by hovering over the site links. This will give you a description of the link and an access key if there is one. Below is a list of access keys which may help you to browse this site:

Windows users can navigate with the access key feature by typing ALT+Access key. On the Mac, you would use CTRL+Access key. Internet Explorer users may also need to hit the enter key to activate a link.

Alt + S: (jumps directly to the main page content)
Alt + A: (jumps directly to this page)
Alt + 1: (jumps to the homepage)
Alt + M: (jumps to our sitemap)
Alt + B: (jumps to request a brochure)
Alt + D: (jumps to request a design visit)
Alt + L: (jumps to find nearest showroom)
Alt + C: (jumps to request a callback)
Alt + 2: (jumps to about dolphin special care)
Alt + 3: (jumps to special care product range)
Alt + 4: (jumps to seats, rails and other options)
Alt + 5: (jumps to our complete service)
Alt + 6: (jumps to your questions answered)
Alt + 7: (jumps to contact us)
Alt + 8: (jumps to web offer)
Alt + 9: (jumps to our latest TV commercials)
Alt + R: (takes you to our privacy & cookie policy)

When using the Dolphin Special Care forms you may also use the access keys to navigate between fields. The access key is shown by the letter which is underlined in the field name.

 

3. Navigate using your keyboard

You can use your keyboard to help you move around the page:

(use the enter key to navigate to that page once you have selected link you require)

Tab: Move forwards through links.
Shift + Tab: Move backwards through links.
Page Up / Page Down: Move up and down the page.
Home: Jump to the top of the page.
Alt + left arrow: Back a page.
Alt + right arrow: Forwards a page.

5. Alternatives to using a mouse.

If you are a Windows user and have difficulties using a mouse, you might prefer to use tools such as "MouseKeys". This allows you to use the number pad on your keyboard to move the pointer. MouseKeys can be turned on by pressing the key combination Left Shift + Left Alt + Num Lock.
If this doesn't work, you can do it via Accessibility options within Control Panel: 0. Start -> Settings -> Control Panel (or Start -> Control Panel in Windows XP). 0. Click the Mouse tab (or press Ctrl + Tab until it is at the front), and turn on MouseKeys.

 

6. Bookmark your favourite pages

To find your favourite pages again quickly, Press Ctrl + D (in most browsers) to add the page which you are viewing to your Bookmarks. You can also do this in the toolbar Favourites menu (called Bookmarks if you use Safari browser on the mac).

 

7. Use the sitemap

The sitemap lists all the pages on www.dolphinspecialcare.co.uk, so you can use this to find exactly the page you are searching for.

 

8. Find out where you are in the site

You can find out where you are on the site in two ways:

  1. Highlighting: each of the main sections of the site has its own yellow highlight in the strip to the left of your page. When you are in a particular section, the highlight shows you where you are.
  2. Use Breadcrumbs. These are found between the image at the top of the page and the navigation buttons and begins "You are here", followed by a breakdown of the path you have followed (ie. You are here: home > about dolphin special care > product range > accessories >)

9. Use a speech browser

You might find it easier to have the website read out. There are various options for screen readers and talking browsers. The BBC has published information which you may find useful if you wish to use such technology. Follow this link to view information on making your computer talk.
