This page explains the features that have been incorporated into www.creativescotland.com to provide a level of accessibility for all users.
If you find that the text is too small for you to read, you can change it to a size you're more comfortable with:
- In Windows Internet Explorer, use the View > Text Size menu.
- In Macintosh Internet Explorer and Netscape 6 and 7, use the View > Text Zoom menu.
- In Opera, use the Zoom selector.
- In Firefox and other Mozilla browsers, use the View > Increase Text Size option.
- In Safari, use the View > Make Text Bigger option.
- If you use a wheel-mouse, you may be able to change the text size by holding down the Control or Command key and turning the wheel. In some browsers you can change the text size using Control or Command and the + and - keys.
Images have alt text where they add to the comprehension of the page. All trivial or decorative images have null Alt text.

As part of a programme of Digital Transformation, Creative Scotland has been actively working towards meeting Scotland’s Digital First Standards. This includes ensuring that we fulfil accessibility requirements.
Our Digital Transformation programme timelines have been affected by COVID-19, and the programme is now due to be completed in the first quarter of 2021. In working towards this timeframe, we have a detailed workplan in place to re-develop and re-design www.creativescotland.com which includes the following:
- Undertaking a comprehensive accessibility audit.
- Complete website redesign that puts accessibility requirements at the heart of the design.
- Implementation of enhanced cookie control to allow users to easily turn cookies on and off.
