Each of the main navigation areas provide quick links into all the sub categories. The top navigation bar is fixed and will not change throughout the site. The side navigation bar changes with relevance to the category you are currently viewing.

Layout

The site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control all of the presentation and layout. The tables that we previously used to control the placing of elements have been removed.

As a result of the new presentation, screen reader users can use the screen reader's navigation key to get around the site. If you are listening to the site, menus are grouped together in a more logical fashion. The navigation has been moved to appear after the content. Users can quickly use the jump to navigation link to get to that.

Content

The content has been written and formatted to make it accessible. For example:

Headings highlight sections of text

Sentences are short with the meaning at the beginning

Links use meaningful text

Forms can be navigated using the tab key.
