DESIGN GUIDELINES for WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY
​To ensure the best experience for all, this website was designed with the following in mind:
  • Fonts are standardized and intended to easily be legible across a wide range of devices
  • Navigational links rely on text as opposed to images to make the site readable by screen-readers and other assistive tools, and, wherever possible, hyperlinks and images are coded with appropriate "alt text" tags (or descriptive alternative text to describe the element)
  • Communications do not rely on colors but rather textual content

For more information on accessibility standards and techniques that guide our website to be open for all, the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative's techniques are laid out here.
