Personalisation and accessibility

The Association Los Alamos' web site has been designed to accomodate the needs of all its participants and users. Our intention is that every page be as accessible and easy to use as possible. Just in case you have some difficulty in accessing any of the content of this site, we kindly ask you to inform the Webmaster, who will attend to any problem as soon as possible.

In order to accommodate the needs and preferences of our visitors, the graphic elements in this website are separated from the content and all the accessibility rules and norms have been applied to both. Because of this any visitor is able to personalise the appearance and language of the pages they view, using just their browser.

Below you will find information on the options available to you for customising the way this website's information is presented in your browser, and other aspects related to accessibility available in this sites pages:

Accessibility Guidelines Conformance

This site has been designed with the intention of being accessible for all. For that reason the norms and rules of accessibility for the Web are applied at all times reaching the level Double A of accessibility and even applying in many control points level 3, as can be seen in the site analysis reports.

In this site the following has been established:

In order to assure the accessibility of these pages, a manual analysis has been undertaken, using HERA. Every revised page has a meta link to the analysis report, which the indexing and research robots can access.

Keyboard Shortcuts

The shortcut or quick access keys provide a direct access to the main sections of a page and/or site, by pressing a key or a set of keys. This is specially important for people who can not use a mouse. In this site the following keyboard shortcuts have been applied:

The activation of keyboard shortcuts is different for each brtowser. For example:

Meta Navigation

Meta navigation is defined in the sites which follow the standards and features of accessibility, and is also a very practical form of navigation. In this site the following meta-elements of link have been established:

In those pages which form part of a collection of documents, like a manual for example, there will also be:

Many navigators now offer direct access to the meta-elements of a website. If you not know how to activate or install a navigation bar in your prefered navigator you will find relevent information in the section about personalization on the SIDAR website.

How to change the size of the text

Every navigator offers its users options to amplify or reduce the size of the text of the pages which they are visiting, provided that those pages were designed to allow users to do this, as is the case with this web site. There is more information, with extensive and ilustrated explanations, in the section about personalization offered by the Sidar Foundation.

How to change text and background colours

The user can define the colour of the background and text in every page of this site, allowing him to override the default settings. More information about this item can be found in Website of the SIDAR Foundation and specifically about:

How to change the Languages

You will find information about how to change the language configuration in the site of the Fundación SIDAR. For the users who access this site from a Computer which is not his own, for example from a Ciber-café, there are the buttons and links, behind the headlines and just before the principal menu, which takes the user to the different languages and from there he can choose whatever language exists in the site.

Does this work in every other site?

Personalisation will work in every site that has been designed following the standards and the WAI Accessibility Guidelines for the web. That is to say, if the web pages applied the principles of "Design for All" or "Universal Design".

Where can I find more information and options

You may find more information, about the personalization options for the operative and navigator systems in the section about personalization, on the SIDAR website, as well as more information about anything in relation to web accessibility.
