The Red Gate website has been designed to be accessible and usable for all visitors. The site has been coded to strict standards to ensure that it operates across multiple platforms and browsers, to enable all users to access content, regardless of any personal disability.

All publicly-accessible pages on this site should conform to level Double-A of the W3C's "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0". If you find any pages which do not conform to these guidelines, please contact us.

It is our intention to provide as wide access as possible to this website. Should you experience any difficulties using the site we would very much like to hear about any such difficulties, so that we may take steps to rectify them. Please email marketing@red-gate.com with details of the problem, the name and version of the browser you are using and, if possible, details of the operating system and screen settings you are using.

This policy only applies to web pages on the main Red Gate website at www.red-gate.com. Other websites reached by links from this website may not meet the same accessibility standards.

Standards compliance

We have endeavoured to ensure that:

  • All web pages on this site comply with all Priority 1 and 2 checkpoints, as well as most of the Priority 3 checkpoints, of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (Double-A compliance)
  • All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional
  • All stylesheets used validate as CSS2
  • All pages on this site use structured semantic markup, e.g. h1 tags for main page headings, h2 tags for sub-headings, and so on

If you find any pages which do not conform to these guidelines, please email us.

Browser compatibility

This site uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout and presentation. The site is best viewed in a "standards compliant" web browser with proper stylesheet support, such as a recent version of Internet Explorer (5+), Netscape, Opera or Firefox.

If you are using a browser which does not support style sheets (such as a PDA or text-only browser), or an older browser with poor stylesheet support (such as Netscape 4), the content of each page should still be fully accessible, but will be presented in plain-text format.
