Accessibility Statement

Lookout.ie is wherever possible committed to making its services as accessible as possible to all users.

So what is accessibility?

In short, an accessible site is one which which can be used by all people.  To be accessible you must take into account many different user situations.

For example:
Can a blind user use your website using a screen reader?  
Can users who have poor eyesight increase the text size? 
Can a user navigate the site without a mouse?
Is the site usable on different browsers, operating systems and so on?

The list above is just to give you an idea of what we had to consider in building this site.  If you are interested in reading more about accessibility please view the Irish National Disability Authority IT Accessibility Guidlines or  the Web Accessibility Initiative.
