Images
Graphics files are only used for non-text items — JPEGs for pictures and GIFs for logos. Most graphics are hidden from text-only browsers and screen readers. The reason we've done this is to reduce non-semantic clutter for screen readers.
Document Structure
The underlying code of each page has a linear structure and HTML headings have been used correctly so that non-visual browsers (screen readers) can read each page in a logical sequence. No tables or frames are used for layout purposes.
