Access Keys
The following features improve navigation for screen reader users, keyboard navigation and users of text-only browsers.
Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use the mouse for navigation, in browsers that support them. In Internet Explorer on Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. Then press Enter to activate the link.
The following access keys are available throughout the Cecil and Larter website:
0 - Accessibility Statement (this page)
s - skip the navigation - go straight to the page content
1 - Home
9 - Contact Us
a - About Us
These access keys have been chosen to follow the UK government e-envoy's guidelines where applicable, in order to support the adoption of a useful standard. Wherever possible, they also avoid conflicting with commonly-used screen reader keyboard shortcuts.

select Tools, then Internet Options, and then Accessibility.
Next click on any or all of 3 checkboxes to ignore colours,
font styles or font sizes. In the same window you can change
your style sheet by clicking the checkbox that says, 'format
