Standards Compliance
The majority of pages are AA compliant.
All pages validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional.
All pages use structured semantic markup.
Design
We have used a common accessible design throughout the web site rather than providing text only pages for disabled users.
Links and Navigation
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).
Wherever possible, links are written to make sense when read out of context. Many browsers (such as JAWS and Home Page Reader) can extract the list of links on a page and allow you to browse the list separately from the page.
Link text is never duplicated: two links with the same link text always point to the same web address.
There are no 'JavaScript' pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
Access Keys
Most browsers supporting jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the website. With Windows, you can press ALT + an access key.
The BT Wholesale homepage uses the following access keys:
| Key | Functionality |

Graphics, Pictures and Images
Where we have used graphics, pictures and images we have included text descriptions ('Alt-Tags'), to comply with internationally recognised Web accessibility guidelines. All graphical navigation buttons are similarly 'Alt-tagged'. Where graphical images are just for decoration they have NULL alt text (alt="").
Language
We have followed 'use-of'-English' guidelines, including those set out by Mencap and the Plain English Campaign, so that you find this website easy to read and understand.
