Accessibility

Many Internet users with disabilities find web sites difficult or even impossible to use simply because of the way they are designed. Onetel is working hard to provide a website that is totally accessible.

Browser Settings

Not all browsers allow you to make changes to the way you view the page, but here are some tips for some simple changes you may be able to make.

Font type and size

For improved visibility you may be able to increase (or decrease) the size of text and alter the choice of font.

Internet Explorer users

  1. Open your 'Internet Options' window by going to 'View' (or 'Tools' if you have it) and scrolling down.
  2. Choose 'Fonts' and select your preferred style, alphabet and size, then click 'OK'.
  3. Go to 'Accessibility' within 'Internet Options' and click on 'Ignore font styles/font sizes specified on Web pages.'
  4. When you click 'OK', this should ensure that the page you are viewing now appears with your specifications.

Netscape users

  1. To increase font size, go to 'View' and then choose 'Increase Font' as many times as you find necessary for the size you want.
  2. To change the type of font, go to 'Preferences', 'Appearance', 'Fonts' and choose 'Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts'. This will ensure that the set fonts are ignored by your browser.

Colour of text and background

You may require specific colours in order to be able to view the site easily.

Internet Explorer Users

  1. Go to 'Internet Options' (as above) and choose 'Colors'.
  2. You can change text and background page colour as well as the colour in which links appear, then click 'OK'.
  3. Choose 'Accessibility' from within 'Internet Options' and click on 'Ignore colors specified on Web pages'.
  4. When you click 'OK', this should ensure that the page you are viewing now appears with your specifications.

Netscape Users

  1. Go to 'Preferences', 'Appearance', 'Colors' and choose 'Always use my colors, overriding document', then specify your colours.
