Usability, Accessibility, and Standards Adherence

We adhere to the highest standards achievable so that all projects result in user-centred outcomes

As standard practice all Future Medium sites are built to adhere to the strict XHTML standard.  This guarantees correct and usable presentation of the website in any standards-compliant web browser.

All sites are designed in such a way that content is clear to read and easily accessible.  This means providing content on high contrast areas, providing text content that is adjustable to a larger size (where possible and permitted by the browser), and structuring content in such a way that a user finds it in the most commonly accepted fashion.

Site navigation is consistently built to meet commonly accepted user expectations.  To assist with return visitor issues we commonly colour code areas to signify more clearly what area a user is 'in', enhancing recognition and 'learnability'.

Where necessary there will be print only versions of pages so that text only material can be presented as a substitute.
