Style Switchers

 

Why style switchers can be an asset to your site

 

Not everyone will see colours in the same way, some people will struggle to see a particular colour that will stand out to someone else. These difficulties can often be overcome or visually improved by the individual having a choice about the size of the text and the colour scheme presented on the website. This gives the user more choice and control over the way which they access the information on your site and maximises on opportunities to accommodate inidividual needs.
