- zoom in up to at least 200% using the text resize button (or resized by CTRL and ‘+’ keystroke, if supported by the browser)
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- use most of the website using a screen reader
- adjust colours to black and white mode from colour
