Introduction

Did you know that you can change the text size, text style and colourscheme of any well-designed website? You can even get computer programs that will "speak" a webpage so you don't have to read it!

Options like these are especially useful for people who are disabled. help you choose is designed to be accessible, which means it should work well with most of these options.

Find out how to make help you choose and other websites easier to use by going to BBC - My Web My Way, which has instructions for people who use Windows computers, Macs or Linux computers.

 

Access Keys

Access keys let you navigate around a website without using a mouse. help you choose uses a single set of accesskeys for all webpages – it's the same one as the Directgov website and Norfolk County Council's website.

Access keys work slightly differently depending on which web browser (such as Internet Explorer) you use. If you're not sure how to use access keys, try holding Alt on your keyboard while pressing the required number key, then pressing Return.
