Accessibility statement
ISV Survival has been designed to be accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Some people with disabilities find using the web difficult and while I know it is impossible to design a site everyone can use, if you have any problems using ISV Survival, please let me know and I will do my best to help.

Navigation aids
Many pages have rel=previous, next, up, and home links to aid navigation in text-only browsers. Firefox users can also take advantage of this feature by selecting the View menu, Show/Hide, Site Navigation Bar, Show Only As Needed (or Show Always).
Links
Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article or survival tip).
Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list, separately from the page. To aid this, link text is never duplicated; two links with the same link text always point to the same address.
There are no javascript: pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off. There are no links that open new windows without warning.
Visual design
- This website uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
- This website uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
- If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
