Universal Design & Accessibility
T/TAC at VCU strives to develop products and strategies that complement a universally designed theme and approach.
The pages in this Web site follow the Web Accessibility Guidelines for Virginia Commonwealth University.
We try to go above and beyond this policy, by using web accessibility validation software tools from a number of different sources. This helps us to satisfy Section 508 and Priority One web accessibility as defined by the World Wide Web Accessibility Initiative (W3C).
We also attempt to maintain a web design that follows the philosophies and guidelines for “designing for web accessibility and simplicity” as defined by Dr. Jakob Nielsen.
The resources we access are noted below and may be of additional benefit to you:
- WebAIM, Web Accessibility in Mind
- W3C Validation Service
- Bobby
- LIFT
- Introduction to Web Accessibility
