We are continually looking for ways to improve people's experiences of Powergirls Limited. Our website and other online services are no exception to this. Following research, we have redeveloped our website.

We have tried to make our new site as usable as possible whilst also following standards and guidelines laid out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in their Web Accessibility Initiative. This means that wherever possible, all of our users enjoy the same quality of service.

Access keys

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the website.

We have provided a series of keyboard shortcuts intended to help users who have difficulty in using pointing devices such as a mouse.

This web site uses the UK Government access key system and the following information summarises each of the keyboard shortcut commands available to you.

Depending on your browser type use one of the following:

A. With Windows-based systems, in general, press the "Alt" key and the relevant access key:

• if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 or higher then press "Alt" and the relevant number/letter, then press the "Enter" key
• if you are using Firefox, then press the "Alt" and "Shift" keys at the same time, then the relevant number/letter
• if you are using Netscape version 6 or later, or Mozilla, then press "Alt" and the relevant number/letter at the same time
• if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4 then press "Alt" and the relevant number/letter at the same time

B. With Macintosh-based systems, press the "Ctrl" key and the relevant access key. Pressing ENTER will then take you to that page.

The following access keys have been incorporated into each page:

• 1 - Home

• 6 - How We Work
• 7 - Join Powergirls

Visual design

• This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout, meaning greater usability for assistive technology.
• If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.

Links

Links have title attributes that describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target. If you are using a mouse, or other pointing device, these can be viewed by hovering over the link text.

Pop-up windows

The use of pop-up windows on this site has been kept to a minimum. If a link opens a new browser window then this is explained in the title attribute of the link.
