Website Accessibility Information
"The power of the Web is in its universality.
Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect."
-- Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director
Colorado WIN Partners/UCDHSC has worked with Electronic Storefronts Inc. to
create a website that is accessible to all users including those with
disabilities. We have followed the Federal Government’s Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines from the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
We strive to:
-
Provide a text equivalent for images and
graphical buttons or graphical representations of text (including symbols).
-
Ensure that the foreground and background
color combinations provide sufficient contrast when viewed on a black and
white screen.
-
Identify row and column headers in data
tables and make sure the table makes sense when linearized.
-
Ensure that windows do not appear with out
informing the user.
-
Clearly identify the target of each link.
-
Use navigation mechanisms in a consistent
manner.
-
Place distinguishing information at the
beginning of headings, paragraphs, lists, etc.
-
Provide information about document
collections.
-
Use the clearest, simplest language
appropriate for the site’s content and create documents that adhere to
published formal grammars.
-
Supplement text with graphic presentations
where they will facilitate comprehension of the page.
-
Create a style of presentation that is
consistent across pages.
-
Use header elements to convey logical
structure and use them according to specification.
-
Provide a feature that allows the user to
increase the font size on our Webpages.
-
Provide a text-only version of our website
to facilitate printing and ensure accessibility.
