Accessibility Features of this Web Site
- Consistent navigation. Extremely important for accessibility, consistency is maintained with main navigation menu on the top of each page.
- Style Sheets. The “look” (formatting such as color, font-size, general layout) of the entire website is controlled by style sheets. As a result, users have the option to alter this website’s appearance by substituting their own style sheet. For example, a person with a specific type of color blindness may substitute their own style sheet to alter this website’s color scheme to accommodate their needs. Style sheets also reduce coding clutter which enhances ease of navigation when using screen reader software.
