Features
This site incorporates accessibility best practices available within WordPress at the time of development. These include general design best practices as well as those specific to users of screen reader software:
- Using H tags and HTML text for page titles (not graphic headers like older websites did)
- Using H tags nesting structure for understand of information hierarchy
- Placing body text inside P tags (avoiding spans to apply styling)
- Coding bullets as list items and heavy use of bullets for skimmability
- Emphasizing text with brackets or asterisks instead of using applied bold or italics
- Color contrast check following WCAG Level AA
- Selecting web fonts with an x height with improved readability on digital devices
- Specifying body text in ems (which honors user’s browser preference for base font size, and all other sizes being relative to this)
- Alt text on images describing the activity and scene pictured
- ARIA attributes on external links
