Designed with accessibility in mind
We have tried our very best to make this web site usable by as many people as
possible. Some people with disabilities find using the
web difficult and many sites do not accomodate those with
visual or other disabilities. While we know that it is
impossible to design a site that everyone can use, designing
this site with accessibility in mind means that more people
can access its content. The Buckinghamshire Building Society
website meets accessibility guidelines.

Designed using web standards
In designing this site,
we have used technologies that form a common standard.
By designing to what are known as 'web standards', the
content of this web site is made available to a wider range
of people and technologies. You may have noticed that it
downloaded quicker too.
Technical information about this site
This site has been developed
using modern, web-standards technologies including XHTML
and CSS. Using these technologies means that this site
is built to last well into the future as well as making
the content available to very old browsers and other alternative
browsing devices such as screen-readers and refreshable
Braille displays for people who are blind. Using CSS for
styling and laying out the site content also means that
the site downloads faster than many older sites, even for
those people using slower dial-up modems.
Compatible with a wide range of browsers
The site has been designed
to work in all modern web browsers (layout may not be 100%
the same due to various browser rendering issues, but it
will still be usable where different) and has been tested
using,
Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows
Internet Explorer 6 for Windows
Internet Explorer 7 for Windows
Mozilla Firefox for Windows
Netscape 7 for Windows
Internet Explorer 5.5 for Macintosh
