This site's layout takes into account users who are visually impaired or have difficulties using a mouse. A skip to content link is provided at the top of each page to allow keyboard users the chance to access the content with fewer key presses.
Tabbing through the pages takes you first through the header, then through the contents part of the page, then through the left navigation and finally through the links in the footer.
