Making your website's content more accessible using features in the admin site
- Web pages should have titles that describe topic or purpose.
- Every non-text element (images, videos, audio files, plug-ins, etc.) should have an ALT tag (Alternate Text).
- If an image is also used as a link, make sure the alt text describes the graphic AND the link destination.
- Create a link to a video rather than embedding it on the web page.
- Filenames should be well-defined.
- Add content from PDFs, Powerpoints and other documents directly to the page; embedded docs cannot be read by screen-readers.
- Avoid link text that is ambiguous, like click here, more or continue.
- Use plain text, rather than an image that has text in it.
- Watch the use of CAPS.
- Schools should have a written policy on website accessibility posted on their site where it can be easily located
