Accessibility

Accessibility Statement

Tiny Tickers is committed to providing a website that is accessible and easy to use for the widest range of visitors possible, regardless of disability or impairment. We believe that this is an ongoing process and are constantly seeking to improve in this area.

Keyboard Navigation

Using the keyboard for navigation is often handy and quick to use.

There are a few simple techniques for navigating in this way:

  • The backspace (delete) key can be used in the same way as the back button in your browser. Using shift + backspace works in the same way as the forward page button.
  • The tab key can be used to navigate through links. Each successive key press will take you to the next available link in the page. Using shift + tab reverses this effect and moves to the previous link.
  • Access keys as described earlier are very handy and can be quicker to use than mouse navigation.
  • The up and down cursor keys (arrows) can be used to scroll the page up and down rather than having to use the scroll bar.

Speech enabled

This site has been optimised for use with all speech enabled programs and browsers.
