Accessibility

Introduction

We do our best to fulfil the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) guidelines for accessibility. We consider this as an ongoing process of reassessment and we are continually working to make our site more accessible for individuals with disabilities as the technology and standards allow.

Access Keys

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends the use of access keys through their Web Accessibility Initiative. Access keys are specifically defined keys that are assigned to hyperlinks or other elements withiin a web page. For example a hyperlink may have a letter or number associated with it, which when used targets that specified link, this removing the need to use a mouse to navigate.

We have defined access keys to the main areas of our site, these are as follows:

  • Access key '0' - Accessibility Page Information (this page)
  • Access key '1' - The Main Merula Home Page
  • Access key '2' - About Us
  • Access key '3' - Conectivity
  • Access key '4' - Hosting
  • Access key '5' - My Merula
  • Access key '6' - Online Store
  • Access key '7' - Other Services
