to people of all ages regardless of age, sex or abilities.
For this reason all pages on
the web site must be maintained with close attention being paid to it's
level of accessibiltiy.
Web authors updating SCS website
must following this set of guidelines:
- An accessible site does not mean a text only
equivalent.
- The web page must meet a the HTML 4.01 web standard. Refer to the examples
shown with reference links included.
- Cascading Style Sheets must be
used for presentation.
- The web site should be tested in the following browsers (Use more if
available, including old versions).
- Microsoft Internet Explorer (Mac & PC).
- FireFox
- Opera.
- Mozilla.
- Safari.
- Lynx.
- Ensure that the page(s) meet the minium requirement of web accessibility
standards:
- Use automated validation tools to ensure you page meets these
standards.
- Check the page using Cynthia Say (http://www.cynthiasays.com/fulloptions.asp?),
or a similar validator.
- Automated tools have limitations. You must perform a manual
check of your work.
- Preview the page in a text-only browser (e.g. Lynx).
- Where possible state on each page it's level of compliance.
- Ideally WCAG Double A standards should be
met.
- Ensure that any equivalents used for scripts, images, frames, etc are
as informative and useful as the original content. For example:
- For <noframe> content do not use "Your browser
does not support frames".
- Links to external web sites such as clients' should be clearly labeled
and mention any accessibility features (if any) available on that site.
- Where javascript was used to protect email addresses use an accessible
contact form in it's place.
These guidelines will be reviewed on a 6 month basis and may change to
reflect changes in any current accessibility guidelines. The minimum level
of compliance may also change at a future date
