Technical Implementation

  • Images and Graphics

    All non-decorative images and graphics contain a descriptive "alt" attribute (alt text) that conveys the meaning and context of the image to users who cannot see it.

  • Tables and Data Structure

    Tables are used to display tabular data only and are not used for design or page layout purposes. All data tables include proper headers and structure.

  • HTML Structure and Semantics

    The HTML structure of the website is consistent with WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements and makes use of HTML accessibility tags where appropriate for proper semantic meaning.

  • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

    This site uses cascading style sheets to apply visual design elements consistently. Inline styles are not used for design purposes to maintain separation of content and presentation.

  • Form Labels and Controls

    All form elements include proper labels to ensure screen readers and other assistive technologies can identify and describe form controls to users.
