Layout of the site

Plurality of Styles

The layout of the www.veoliawater.co.uk site is based on a number of style sheets, in various different presentation styles:

  • a graphic presentation, using the Veolia Water colours
  • a light, less visual presentation intended in particular for visually impaired persons and persons using a mobile apparatus like a PDA or a mobile phone

These presentations are accessible:

  • from the View menu of the browsers supporting the alternative styles
  • from the Light version or Graphic version link displayed at the top of each page
Font Size

Users can modify the presentation of the www.veoliawater.co.uk website, and particularly the font size, as the layout is based on relative units, rather than absolutes.
