Best Practices

The University of Delaware requires that all Web content meet the WCAG 2.0 Level AA requirements.

Accessible content benefits everyone, including those without disabilities. Well structured content along with proper HTML semantics makes development easier and reduces bloat on mobile. Accessibility is also good for SEO by making your content more findable by users and search engines.

We’ve put together a list of best practices to help you with creating accessible documents and web pages. Following these guidelines will not only help you meet compliance, it will provide a more robust user experience. (see http://webaccess.hr.umich.edu/)
