This is the official accessibility statement for
.redSPLASH.
If you have any questions or comments about accessibility on this site, please feel free to
contact me.
I'm regularly working on improving this site's accessibility, and because that's an ongoing process, I hope the site will
become more accessible and easier too use by the time.
- Standards Compliance
- .redSPLASH implements structured and valid Markup where
ever possible. The site is based on..
- Valid
XHTML 1.0 Strict, based
on the W3C Markup Validation Service.
- Valid
CSS,
based on the W3C CSS Validator. The
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
were written using relative font sizes, so users are encouraged to increase or decrease font size to their own comfort.
- Valid
RSS,
based on FEED Validator.
- Links
- Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully
describes the target (such as the headline of an article or name of a person). Links are written to make sense out of
context.
- Images
- All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes.
Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
- Visual design
- This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
- This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
- If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
