New website uploaded

After a marathon months’ work on the Ryde Carnival Website, it has now been uploaded. You will notice that the colours and style are very different from previous years. The new design has been produced to reflect this years costumes colours which are black and red. We will be publishing more about this in the next month or so.

We have also managed at long last to get the Ryde Illuminated Carnival Photographs into an album, sorry for the delay, but well worth the wait. At the moment we are going over all the photographs that have been on the site since 2002 and will be producing a small set of albums for the years 2002 - 2007 these will have what we consider to be the best photographs from those years, this is to help with space on the server and make the site mangement easier for our site manager who spends 100’s of hours on the site over the year.

The site has been parred down so that it is easier for navigation and will also work on any browser, and older versions of internet explorer 5 and 6 for those who still use those systems. The site has been also tested on the new Eee PC mini laptop devices as well as mobile telephones and the iPhone/Google Phone.

We also check this site for use by users who are colour blind for all of the following defects:-
Deutanopia - red/green color blindness; no green cones
Tritanopia - blue/yellow color blindness; no blue cones
Grayscale/Achromatopsia - quick check for all forms of colorblindness
Atypical Achromatopsia -low cone function; cone monochromat
Protanomaly - anomalous red cones
Deutanomaly - anomalous green cones
Tritanomaly - anomalous blue cones

As well as the following coverage tests:-
coverage test in black - highlight filter limitations
coverage test in white - highlight filter limitations
coverage test in gray - highlight filter limitations

There are still the usual downloads available through out the website from Risk assessment spreadsheets to our Route Map that was redesigned last year. Please keep checking back for changes and updates. If you have any questions about the site or want to make a comment please let us know via our e-mail info@rydecarnival.co.uk
