Internet users with disabilities may find websites difficult or even impossible to use because of the way they have been designed. We are aware of the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities and are continually trying to ensure compatibility with as many of these systems as possible.

Adopt a Word has been built using code compliant with W3C standards for XHTML and CSS. The site displays correctly in current browsers and using standards compliant XHTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly.

– Our pages are designed so that they can be viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.

– Page structure is conveyed using header elements.

– Links and form elements are labelled and contain title tags
 as well as a natural tab indexing order.

– Text can be increased or decreased in size by using the "view" option in your browser.

– All images that convey information have alternative text.

– No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.

– Shortcut keys are provided for each main section of the site.

Note: Some elements within this website utilise Adobe Flash based technology – they provide non-essential tools and information and do not affect the natural process of selection and purchase of words or merchandise.

This website has achieved the following W3C compliance validations:
