Accessibility

LowerMyBills is committed to ensuring that everyone can access the site. If you have difficulty in reading it on your screen, you may be able to change the settings on your browser to help you.

The following suggestions can be applied to any site that you visit. However, you may find that not all pages within a site are compatible. These instructions have been tested with Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7.

To apply changes permanently, within Internet Explorer:

• Choose the 'Tools' menu, then 'Internet Options'
• On the 'General' tab, click 'Accessibility'
• Tick each of the three check-boxes
• Select 'OK'.

Font style

You will probably find that text with a sans serif font (such as Arial) is easier to read than a serif font (such as Times New Roman). To change your text font setting:

• Choose the 'Tools' menu, then 'Internet Options'
• On the 'General' tab, click 'Fonts'
• Choose the fonts you would like to use from the 'Web page font' and 'Plain text font' lists
• Select 'OK'.

Colours

It is the combination of fonts and background colours used in web page design that may result in it becoming difficult to read. However, you can choose settings to suit you - for example, using a distinct contrast, such as red text on a yellow background. To change the text colour and background colour:

• Choose the 'Tools' menu, then click 'Internet Options'
• On the 'General' tab, click 'Colours'
• Un-tick the 'Use Windows Colours' check-box
• In the box next to 'Text' choose a colour
• Select 'OK'
• In the box next to 'Background', again choose a colour
• Select 'OK'.
