Accessibility
At HBOS EES we strive to make our website as accessible as possible for our customers, and we endeavor to update and improve the site on a continuous basis. Some of the features our website has with respect to accessibility include:
- Text size
- Consistent page headings and titles
- Contrasting colours
- Alternative text for graphics
- Descriptive links
- Adobe PDF files
- Access keys
- Browsers
Text size
If your web browser is Internet Explorer, you can change the size of the text by clicking on 'view' which is displayed in the toolbar, then 'text size' and then select your preferred text size. If your browser is Firefox, again, click on 'view' and then select 'text size' and then increase or decrease the text size as required.
Consistent page headings and titles
A consistent heading structure has been used. This is so that the information contained on the pages of the website is compatible with access technology.
Contrasting colours
We have ensured that the foreground and background colours used on the web site contrast effectively. If you want to override the site's colours, you can achieve this by changing your browser settings.
Alternative text for graphics
All graphics and images contain descriptive alternative text.
Descriptive links
All links have been written so they make sense when taken out of context.
Adobe PDF files
You need Acrobat Reader software to view Adobe Acrobat PDF files. If you do not have the software installed on your computer, you can download it for free at the Adobe Website. If you are using access technology to view Adobe PDF documents, go to the Adobe Accessibility Resource Center which provides the required information and tools.
