MAKE YOUR SITE ACCESSIBLE


Creating websites that are accessible ensures that people with disabilities can use the internet. Consistent with UA's Web Accessibility Initiative, all people.ua.edu websites should adhere to the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, or WCAG 2.0 AA. Fortunately, Weebly, our web platform provider, makes it relatively easy! Plus, good organization and thoughtful structure is often accessible. Below you will find basic guidance and answers to the most common questions about accessibility. View the printable pdf of our complete accessibility guide.
