«Top of Page!» Andrews Accessibility Statement:

Andrew J. Baker wants 'Andy's Website' to be accessible for everybody. The information here will help you make changes to your computer to make browsing easier. In the future I shall be updating this site with further accessibility features.

«Top of Page!»  Downloadable files - PDF Files:

Invented by Adobe, Portable Document Format (PDF) is the published specification used by standards bodies around the world for more secure, reliable electronic document distribution and exchange. It helps us preserve the look and integrity of our original documents.

Adobe Reader is free software that allows users to easily and reliably view, print, and search PDF files using a variety of platforms and devices. It can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/

«Top of Page!»  Pop-ups in Andy's Website:

If you have a browser pop-up blocker activated you will need to disable it for full access to the content in Andy's Website. Alternatively, most pop-up blockers can be configured to allow pop-ups for sites you select whilst still blocking pop-ups from other sites. Please refer to your browser help for details on how to disable your pop-up blocker or allow pop-ups for this site.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide business and marketing information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can never contain any more information about you than that which you have volunteered to that particular site. For more detailed information about cookies visit www.allaboutcookies.org

The content of both of these cookies consists of a single, unique string of numbers and, in itself contains no usable information.

You may choose to not allow these cookies to be used using your browser settings and this will not prevent you from accessing any part of the site. Please consult your web browsers documentation for more information about how to do this.

  • Choose Internet Options
  • Click the Accessibility button
  • Select the 'Ignore colors specified on web page' checkbox and click OK
  • Click the Colors button on the Internet Options dialog box

«Top of Page!»  Changing the Images:

  • Images: Decorative and functional images feature null ALT attributes. Other images on the site include descriptive ALT attributes.
  • Moving Images and Text: None of Andy’s content includes blinking or text or images, and none of the site will cause your screen to flicker. Animation has been kept to a minimum, and is generally illustrative of content already on the site.
  • JavaScript: The site has been configured to allow user's access to its full range of functionality whether or not they have JavaScript enabled in their browsers. Where JavaScript is used, it is only used to enhance the user experience. It is never essential.

Animated Bar!

«Top of Page!»  Features with Implications for Accessibility:
  • JavaScript: All content within Andy's Website can be accessed with JavaScript disabled. However, it is advised to browse the site with JavaScript enabled to make full use of all the features.
  • Page Images: This site includes scanned page images in gif/jpeg formats (for example, Pictures of Andrew), which cannot be read by a screen reader.
