Accessibility

Coding for accessibility means making your pages more accessible not only to people with disabilities but also to a wide range of devices for the Web.

Our site aims to provide Level AAA compliance. Currently, we require coding to a minimum of WCAG Level A compliance and United States federal government Section 508 compliance.

See About Accessibility and Web Accessibility for details.

How To Make a Web Page Accessible

1. Begin with an evaluation tool.

2. Resolve problems with automated checks.

   If errors are reported, follow the instructions in the report to resolve them, then repeat the accessibility check again.

3. Resolve problems with manual checks.

   These tools provide automatic evaluation of many accessibility features, but they require further human evaluation of your Web pages to ensure compliance.

If your Web page passes all automatic checks and you have verified that the manual checks specified are resolved or do not apply, your Web page is considered to be accessible.
