Content and design

OPFS has designed and developed its website with accessibility in mind.

For example:

  • All pages and topics have clear text headings
  • Sentence are kept short as much as possible and have clear meanings at the beginning
  • Link text use meaningful text
  • Colours are based on OPFS branded colours and are used to denote and separate specific content

Page layouts

However, the functionality and content are independent of this technology and users may disable the default style sheets to maximise flexibility with font resizing or implement their own style sheets in their browser preferences.
