Accessibility

When creating content in the DePauw Templates, please consider these W3C accessibility checkpoints:

• Images and animations: Use the alt attribute to describe the function of each visual.
• Image maps: Use the client-side MAP element and text for hotspots.
• Multimedia: Provide captioning and transcripts of audio, and descriptions of video.
• Hypertext links: Use text that makes sense when read out of context. For example, avoid "click here".
• Page organization: Use headings, lists, and consistent structure.
• Graphs and charts: Create a summary where appropriate.
• Scripts, applets, and plug-ins: Provide alternative content in case active features are inaccessible or unsupported.
• Tables: Make line by line reading sensible. Summarize.
• Check your work: Use W3C validators.
