Web Standards and Accessibility

  • In the development of the site, we followed the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
  • ECC's site uses CSS to separate layout, style, presentation, structure, and design from content and data. Turning off the stylesheet affects visual presentation but may assist visitors with disabilities in navigating the site.
  • The site uses relative font sizes that can be easily scaled in the browser.
  • Links are assigned 'TITLE' attributes to describe the target in greater detail. Users of assistive technology may wish to set screen reader options to take full advantage of this feature.
  • Tables are properly coded for the full advantage of users of assistive technology.
