rosslinton — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 18:55:52 +0000

I have chosen the three types of user that for my assignment website to accommodate:

A Standard User (size 12pt font, standard colour scheme)
A User With Reading Difficulties (Larger font size, Standard HTML for screen readers, colour scheme to make to text as readable as possible)
A User Requiring a Printable Version of the Site (standard font, no colour or images, to fit one A4 page)

For my assignment I intended to use standard HTML styled with CSS style sheets. I will also be using Java-Script to change between stylesheets.
