Text options

For visitors using a graphical browser the text size on the IMAGINE site can be set by selecting the text size buttons at the top of each page to the left of the IMAGINE logo.

There is also a text-only option, which shows the IMAGINE site in high contrast with the images removed. The text-only mode has its own accessibility options allowing the visitor to change colours and sizes of the text.

BSL introductions

Each of the main website sections has a British Sign Language introduction that helps Deaf visitors find their way around the site.

(Internet explorer users may have to press "Enter" after "Alt" and the access key). Access keys have been built in to every page making the most common options available with just a few key presses.
