At Holiday Inn we want our services to be available for everyone. We've built our web site to help ensure this, making it compatible with the standards set by W3C (World wide web Consortium).

Accessibility features
Some key accessibility features are described below for those who may wish to take advantage of them.
'Skip to' links
- A 'Skip to content' link (accesskey: S) is provided on each page that will enable users of browsers such as screen readers to jump directly to the main content on the page, avoiding all of the standard navigation links.
- A 'Skip to navigation' link is provided on each page that will allow users of screen readers to jump directly to the main navigation area.
- A 'Skip to site map' (accesskey: 3) link will take users straight to the site map at the bottom of each page.
- 'Back to the top' links are also provided at the bottom of each page and on long pages, saving users of screen readers from having to scroll unnecessarily.
Accesskeys
Research suggests that accesskeys could very well conflict with keys that are already assigned by a disabled user's assistive software. As a result, only the following keys (recommended by the UK Government access keys standard) can be used on pages:
Press ALT or CTRL (depending on your operating system/browser) and one of the following keys to highlight a link. Press enter to select the link.
- S - Skip to main content
- 1 - Home page
- 3 - Site map
- 5 - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- 9 - Feedback form & Contact us
- 0 - Access key details (this page)
Images
All images that provide information have appropriate alternative text such that the information is available to people who cannot see the images.
Images that are provided for decoration are provided as either background images or have NULL (empty quote marks) alternative text.
Site map
A site map (accesskey: 3) is provided to assist with navigation.
Layout using Cascading Style Sheets
Styling and layout has been achieved using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The site will still be usable if CSS is disabled. Disabling of CSS will result in a well structured single column page that will be styled according to the default settings of your browser.
Javascript
Areas of our website do use JavaScript. They have been designed to be as practical as possible for the majority of users.
