Flat Pack Marketing

Accessibility

Flat Pack Marketing is committed to making its web site available to as many people as possible. Many internet users can find websites difficult to use due to the way they have been designed. We recognise that this is an important issue and have designed everything you see in accordance with W3C guidelines (The XHTML 1.0 W3C guidelines, to be exact).

You can check that a page is adhering to the W3C guidelines by clicking on the 'XHTML' link at the bottom of any page on this website.

Changes to improve accessibility are ongoing, but if you come across a page you find difficult to use please let us know.

• Include relevant “skip to” links
