Accessibility
In addition to ensuring that sites function properly, Web sites should follow accessibility guidelines. In addition to the standards listed below, it is recommended that information providers review the VCU Web Accessibility site for additional information on accessibility.
- All organizational home pages - and within reason all other pages - must meet Section 508 accessibility compliance. For information on Section 508 accessibility compliance and how to correct related errors, please visit the VCU Web Accessibility site.
- If an organizational page requires graphics or audio to get the meaning from the page, an alternative "text-only" page can be made available for people who may not be able to view the graphics or hear the audio. The VCU Text site has tools to dynamically generate a text version of your site. A text site is a supplement, not a replacement for an accessible Web site.
