Welcome to DMGT Pensions.co.uk
At DMGT PENSIONS we want everyone to enjoy the benefits of good clear communication. We are committed to helping improve accessibility by doing everything we can to make our services easier to use.
We have designed DMGT Pensions.co.uk, our pension website, to be informative and accessible to a wide range of users. We hope you find the content about DMGT PENSIONS and our operating businesses easy to find and useful. If you have any comments or suggestions regarding this website, please let us know by filling out a short form here.
Improving accessibility
As part of our commitment to continuously improve the level of accessibility within our website we have recently re-designed all aspects of the site. It's hoped that the design, navigation and functionality will be available and inclusive for all user groups regardless of their location, internet experience, and type of technology used.
The website has been developed in line with the World Wide Web Consortium (w3C).
This section outlines some of the accessibility features that we have provided for users and guidance on how to use them. Please refer to your web browser and operating system 'Help' for their additional accessibility features.
Design
DMGT Pensions.co.uk has been optimized to be viewed at a monitor resolution of 1024 x 768 within the following browsers or, their corresponding higher version numbers:
- Firefox 3.5
- Google Chrome 3
- Internet Explorer 7
- Opera 10
(Whilst the website may operate with alternative browsers and monitor settings which are less than 1024 x 768, we cannot guarantee that the "look and feel" of the site will be the same)
The colour combinations have been checked to ensure appropriate colour contrast and colour difference. The pages are not based on frames and can therefore be printed easily.
The text within the content pages has been set to relative sizes, which can be increased or decreased for more comfortable screen reading.
Text equivalents have been provided for every non-text element, ALT tags provided for all images and long descriptions for charts and graphs. Page and table header tags have also been included.
Navigation
The navigation has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible, allowing all site content to be viewed within the minimum number of mouse clicks. It is also possible to access pages of the site by using the 'Site map'.
Navigation routes have been developed to be as accessible as possible and compatible with the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities, including screen readers.
Access keys
Access keys allow users to navigate around the most frequently used areas of www.DMGT Pensions.co.uk without using the mouse. To use the Access key on a PC, hold down the Alt key and press the appropriate number, then Enter/Return. To be reminded of our Access keys, press Alt 8 and Return from any page in the site to display a full list. Access key functionality on a mac system is triggered by pressing ctrl + 'h'.
These Access keys have been constructed to allow users to bind keyboard strokes to actions. This is a quick and easy way for everyone to navigate the site.
