Accessability = Here to help you!

Many Internet users with disabilities find web sites difficult or even impossible to use simply because of the way they are designed. We strive at uk8ball.com to provide services and products that are helpful and useful to all our customers, and this goes for the website, too.

We are aware of the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities and have redesigned pages to ensure compatibility with as many of these systems as possible. Changes include keeping text clear (italic fonts can be hard to read) and making sure links adequately describe where they go ('click here' does not mean much in isolation).

Change your browser settings

Some users may need to alter the size and type of font, and the colour scheme of a page in order to be able to view it.

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 (IE) users

To alter the font size:

Go to 'View'.

Choose 'Text size'.

Select the appropriate font size, for example 'Larger'.

To alter the font type:

Go to 'Tools'.

Open your 'Internet Options' window.

Under 'History' choose 'Fonts' and select your preferred font.

Within 'Internet Options' choose 'Accessibility'. You then need to click on 'Ignore font styles specified on web pages'.

Click 'OK'.

This process will ensure that the page you are viewing now appears with your chosen specifications.

Netscape users

To alter the font size:

Go to 'View'.

For Netscape 6: choose 'Increase Font' as many times as you find is necessary for the size that you want. For Netscape 7: choose 'Text Zoom' and select your preferred percentage of zoom.

To alter the font type:

Go to 'Edit'.

Select 'Preferences', 'Appearance', 'Fonts'.

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.

IE users

Go to 'Internet Options' (as above).

Under 'History' choose 'Colours'. You can change text and background page colour as well as the colour in which links appear, then click 'OK'.

Within 'Internet Options' choose 'Accessibility' and click on 'Ignore colors specified on Web pages'.

When you click 'OK', this should ensure that the page you are viewing now appears with your specifications.

Netscape users

Go to 'Edit'.

Select 'Preferences', 'Appearance', Go to 'Preferences', 'Colours'.

Choose 'Always use my colours, overriding document', then specify your colours.
