Accessibility
In keeping with our policy of putting customers first, and our obligations under the DDA (Disability
Discrimination Act), Mi Mundo Spanish Services Ltd endeavours to ensure that our website is accessible to people
who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments. We also endeavour to adhere to the guidelines of the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and of Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act.
Making our website accessible is a core aim of Mi Mundo Spanish Services Ltd and we try to ensure that it is
usable with a broad range of operating systems, browsers, and specialist assistive technologies.
As a standard, during the evolution of this website, we intend to employ the following methods to ensure our
site is accessible to as many people as possible:
- All pictures have an alternative text description
- There is an easy to use text-resizer on all pages for those with javascript enabled on their computers. Our
stylesheets allow for text resizing using the View – Text Size option in the browser toolbar for those who do
not have javascript enabled.
- The website can be viewed using a variety of colour schemes ensuring it can be used by visitors who find
the existing colour scheme hard to read.
- We are committed to Plain English in all our written content.
- Our site has been designed to minimise the use of tables except where we need to represent normally
tabulated content i.e timetables.
- The website can be navigated without the use of a mouse.
- A non-serif font is used for easier readability.
- We do not use all-capitals for emphasis.
- We use a hierarchy of heading markups which makes it easier for screen readers to work out the stucture
of a page.
- Our site can be viewed in a logical order when styling is turned off.
We are also examining the use of “Browsealoud” to enable pages to be read out loud to any visitor.

If there is an instance when our site does not meet the need of a specific disabled user group we will endeavour
to make changes to our content, wherever appropriate, so that we can become more inclusive to a wider audience.
