We’re working towards making our content and communications more accessible.

Our work on access at Wyldwood Arts is broader to include enabling more people to access our projects - and this page is designed to help support you in navigating our website.

As we continue working on making our website more accessible, below are a few things we’ve discovered that you may find helpful to know, or try when browsing the site.

In the meantime, you may also find AbilityNet’s step-by-step guides on adapting your phone, tablet or computer to help make accessing the web easier. These guides can be filtered by symptoms (e.g., hand tremor) or condition (e.g., dyslexia). Click this link to visit the AbilityNet website: https://mcmw.abilitynet.org.uk/

Help with navigating our website

Below are steps on using Keyboard Browsing and Immersive Reader - both are free to use and readily available on most standard devices. Easy Read guides have been provided underneath each guide and can be accessed by clicking the button.

Keyboard Browsing tips:

  • Enlarge text:

Windows, Linux, Chrome OS: Ctrl and +, - to decrease

Mac OS: ⌘ and +, - to decrease

  • Keyboard navigation:

Press the Tab key to move forward and Shift + Tab to move backward through screen elements like the following:

-          Links that are text or images

-          Text fields on website forms

-          Hotspots on image maps

-          The address bar

-          The tabs bar

-          HTML frames

You can also press the F7 key to use caret browsing to select text and move around within a webpage using the standard navigation keys on your keyboard – Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and the arrow keys.

 

Enabling Immersive Reader:

(For the Microsoft Edge Browser, accessible also via Mac OS):

1.      Go to website, click on and highlight text

2.      Right click, and scroll to ‘Open selection in Immersive Reader’

3.      The text then opens in a new tab, and you are presented with the options Read Aloud, Text Preferences, Grammar Tools, and Reading Preferences. There’s also the option to translate text and line focus.
