This page highlights what we have done to make our website accessible, and explains how to use these features.
At igloo, our website has been designed to provide you with an enjoyable interactive experience, as well as to be as inclusive and accessible to everyone as possible, regardless of disability or technology limitations.
Access keys have been set up to make it easy to jump directly to frequently used pages. Each page on our website includes two search boxes, by price and by keyword. Breadcrumb trails have been used on the website so that you always know where you are and can easily navigate back to the homepage or a section index page. Clicking on the igloo logo at the top of any page will take you back to the homepage.
We have also included features that are particularly useful for assistive technologies. On each page there are a series of hidden intra-page links for users without style-sheets and users with assistive technologies to quickly and easily skip to any of the primary and secondary navigation groups. All the pages on our website are "device independent" and can be navigated by using a keyboard, mouse or combination of the two.
Many links have 'Title' attributes which describe the destination of the link. Wherever possible links are written to make sense out of context, so that you do not have to read the surrounding text to understand where the link will take you. On any page, identically-worded links will always link to the same page. You will always be warned if clicking on a link opens a file or website in a new browser window. The warning is either contained in the link itself, the Title attribute or in descriptive text on the page containing the link.

All graphics and images in our website have an alternative text (ALT) attribute, this describes the contents or function of the image. This description will be displayed when images are turned off, on a text-only browser or as a tool tip in certain browsers when the mouse pointer is moved over the image.

Our website has been designed to look fabulous, to reflect the look of our store, and our professional attitude towards our customers. We are proud to say that we have paid great consideration to accessibility and usability during the design of this website to make it easier for everyone to use. Our website uses relative font sizes which can be resized in your browser (although this may change the layout). Where colours are used we have tried to make sure there is a good degree of contrast between foreground and background items. If your browser or reading device does not support stylesheets, or you wish to switch them off, all of our content will still be readable. Any use of tables for tabular data or tabled structure has been apprpriately marked-up for assistive technologies. All areas of content have been explained, and any relevant links during the shopping process are available within the primary navigation, and also as a page link.

This site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the use of structured semantic markup ensures that the content of each page is still readable and clearly structured. If you wish, you may import your own stylesheet into this website. Select Internet Explorer select Tools, then Internet Options, and then Accessibility. Next click on any or all of 3 checkboxes to ignore colours, font styles or font sizes. In the same window you can change your style sheet by clicking the checkbox that says, 'format document using my style sheet' then simply browse to your style sheet and click OK. In Netscape select Edit, then Preferences and then Appearance. You will then be given the choice to specify your own colours and fonts. All forms follow a logical Tab sequence.
Labels are associated with fields using HTML label tags, (Changes of style sheets will change the layout of the page, however pages are formatted to be readable without style sheets).
