Manchester City Football Club is committed to providing a website that is
accessible and easy to use for the widest range of visitors possible, regardless
of disability or impairment. We believe that this is an ongoing process and are
constantly seeking to improve in this area. The site has been designed to adhere
to best practice by following W3C standards. Pages have been built to comply
with a minimum standard of WCAG 2.0 single 'A' guidelines. Wherever possible we
aim to extend this to 'AA' and 'AAA' compliance. There are a number of steps we
have taken to address accessibility needs that are detailed below: Layout The
site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control all presentation and layout so
that content is well structured and easily accessible via assistive devices.

information is conveyed exclusively through the use of colour Colour contrast
Wherever possible we have designed pages and chosen colours to be accessible to
colour-blind users. Where contrast is limited, we are working towards a solution
by reviewing our current colour palette. Document downloads There are a number
