Cardiff University is committed to making the AZTEC Trial website accessible to as many people as possible.
Using this website
The redesigned site is intended to allow users to:

- navigate using a keyboard;
- use clear headings and meaningful link text;
- access text alternatives for informative images;
- use the site on mobile, tablet and desktop layouts;
- view the AZTEC animation without autoplay.
