accessibility

making it work for all
Accessibility is a requirement for federal government sites, but the standards are good practice for all sites.

1. Your Web site will be easier to manage

An accessible Web site separates the content (the words and images that we see on the screen) and presentation (the way that these words and images are laid out) of each page. Each web page has an HTML document that contains the words and images for that page (the content), and calls up a CSS document that includes the presentation information. This CSS document is shared by all the pages on the Web site.

To adjust the layout of your Web site, you only have to make changes in the CSS file, saving bandwidth, time, resources and money.

2. Your Web site will be compatible with new browsing technologies

Using PDAs, mobile phones and in-car browsers to access the Internet is becoming common. Your Web site should be accessible to these devices.

3. Your Web site will be ranked higher by search engines

Search engines cannot understand images, JavaScript, Flash, audio and video content. By providing alternative content, all aspects of your Web site become accessible to search engines.

4. The download time of your Web site will be significantly reduced

Accessible Web sites generally download more quickly than Web sites with poor accessibility.

5. The usability of your Web site will be enhanced

There is overlap between web accessibility and web usability. A usability redesign significant increases the sales/conversion rate of a Web site.
