How this site meets accessibility guidelines

The Elisad site uses Cascading Style Sheets and XHTML to control presentation and layout. This enables screen readers to accurately interpret information on the pages and allows for the implementation of additional useful accessibility features.
The site adopts a «fluid width» design. This makes more efficient use of the viewer's screen size, including when the text is enlarged.
The site's content has been written and formatted with accessibility in mind. For example, headings highlight sections of text, sentences are short, and links use meaningful descriptions.
All pictures on the site are provided with a short description (alt tag) that allows a screen reader to interpret their content.
The site's page header indicates the language used in the site (e.g. html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="fr" xml:lang="fr") thereby allowing a screen reader to select the appropriate language. The English text for the description of the site and its publisher are marked as English which should allow an on line reader to easily switch languages.
