Please observe to the following when creating content that will be delivered to all populations on the web. This includes content that is publicly available or that which is on a private site or in a learning management system such as Canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your content is on a Palomar College WordPress site with the official college theme, it will pass accessibility if there are no alterations to typefaces or font color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heading styles provide navigation through a page. Therefore, they should be organized (or, nested) in logical hierarchy (H1 through H6 in order) without skipping a level. Think of it as an outline or map for the page. Ideally, there is only one H1 and that is the page title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid character complexity, mixing multiple type styles, or using all caps. Aside from being generally difficult to read, all caps is very difficult for those with dyslexia and can also confuse screen readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Color styling of type must adhere to two primary guidelines, contrast<\/strong> and meaning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bulleted or numbered lists should be created with the list tool or list block (in WordPress) and not be manually generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A link must be identified by a natural language label that conveys meaning. \u201cPalomar College Website\u201d is the label displayed by the browser for the college web address (the URL). When a bare URL serves as both label and link, both electronic and visual readers encounter issues with meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternative sources for media must be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to designated column and\/or row header cells, tables should be used for tabular data only and not for web page layout. If a table is complex, a table summary (table caption) should be included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Please observe to the following when creating content that will be delivered to all populations on the web.
