Screen sizes take into account the size from ‘edge’ to ‘edge’ of the screen. That includes your taskbar and any other bars you may have running.

The Royal National Institute for the Blind and the Disability Rights Commission are two of biggest advocates of the Disability Discrimination Act, although they have no specific rules governing what websites specifically need to do in order to meet the legal requirements, they have however, in conjunction with the W3C published guidelines on ‘A’, ‘AA’, and ‘AAA’ conformance levels.

After a year of trying, 4 redesigns and reiterations - we’re finally happy with our website and thought we’d better launch it!
The main site is powered completely by Content Server with Custom Word-Press Blog Integration, this site provides an insight into what it means to work with OC Vision and we hope this new site instils confidence in what we do.
Over the coming weeks/months, we hope to develop our blogs to give you a clearer idea of the senior team at OC Vision and what we’re like as people as well as giving you a platform to comment/discuss and create debate.
We thank you for taking the time to visit and hope to see you back again soon!
