Accessibility

THOR Group Ltd is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all online visitors. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. THOR website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.0 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional accessibility considerations

• Maintaining a standard, conventional layout and structure throughout the website.

• Using the correct and appropriate HTML tags to mark up our pages and content.

• Using CSS to control styling and presentation of pages.

• Using JavaScript in an unobtrusive manner, thus separating content from both presentation and behaviour.

• Checking contrast levels between elements, enhancing legibility of content for those who may be visually impaired.

• Employing a logical typographical hierarchy for content, enhancing readability.

• Using table-based markup only for tabular data, and never for layout or presentation.

• Using an adaptive page layout system, allowing content to be shown in a way that is appropriate to the viewing device.

• Ensuring link text makes contextual sense, using title and rel attributes as appropriate.

• Writing content in a style that is understandable and easy to follow.
