Accessibility

Many Internet users with disabilities find websites difficult or even impossible to use simply because of the way they are designed.

The Genesis Energy Website

We’re currently reviewing the accessibility on our website and will be addressing any changes required.

My Account

We’ve made every effort to ensure that the Your Account section of the Genesis Energy website is accessible to as many people as possible. The site has been developed in accordance with the NZ Government Website Guidelines. These guidelines are in compliance with the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) best practice accessibility guidelines.

Font Sizes

The font sizes can be enlarged by using the controls on your web browser. The layout has been designed to handle font enlargements of up to three times the default size, but on non-Internet Explorer browsers you can enlarge the fonts more if you need to.

Although the way to increase and decrease font styles is different from browser to browser the most common browsers work as follows:

• In Internet Explorer 6 and 7 click the View menu at the top of Internet Explorer and select Text Size.
• In Internet Explorer 6 you can also hold down the Control (ctrl) key and spin the mouse wheel to scale the text size up and down
• In Firefox and Safari click the View menu and select Text Size. You can also hold down the Ctrl key and use the + and - keys to change the font size.

Images

All images have alt tags which feed text descriptions of the image to screen readers and text only browsers.

Technical Details

The site is written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for its graphic styles.
