Accessibility

This page explains the features that have been incorporated into www.creativescotland.com to provide a level of accessibility for all users.

Text Size

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.

Our Accessibility

We’re aware there are aspects of our website that are not fully accessible, these include:

- Many of our documents such as our Funding Guidance are in PDF format and are not fully accessible.
- While we endeavour to add alt text to all images, there may be instances where this has been missed.
- Some links may open in a new window without warning.
- Some parts of our website including images, website language, forms, page titles, headers, buttons and links may not be fully compatible with assistive technologies.
- Colour contrasts of website content may not be high enough and some text spacing may not match the minimum requirements.

Improving our Accessibility

We're always working towards improving our accessibility, and we are planning to  re-develop and re-design www.creativescotland.com which will include undertaking a comprehensive accessibility audit and ensuring accessibility requirements are at the heart of the design.
