Visual design

2. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
3. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
4. Changing the Page Style: Accessible websites now allow you to customize the style of the page to suit your personal preferences. Most browsers will allow you to change the page style.

Once a style is chosen, the visitor will remain in that format until he or she chooses to switch to another style.
   • Default: This is the default style.
   • High Contrast Option: This style provides a high contrast between the colors used for foreground and background content.
   • Text Version: This style is simple and clean with minimal side menus focusing primarily on the content of each page.
