Web Services Upgrade
During this transition as you navigate the Web Editor Guide site you may notice that the screenshots displayed may not entirely reflect what you are seeing as a content editor. Thank you for your patience as we upgrade how pages are edited and reflect those changes on this site.
Issues You Can Fix
Images
- Simple images – if there is text in the image use those words as the alt text
- Complex images – place a small description in the alt text AND place the information in the image above, below or next to the image. Do not exceed 150 character
- Decorative images – Drupal does not allow you to code those images to be ignored by screen reading users. Minimize use or do not use decorative images
- Do not use the word "image", "photo", "picture", etc. or extensions (.jpeg’s, .jpg, etc.) in the alt text
Color
- When using color for flyers and images check your work with the Color Contrast Analyzer and confirm that the colors pass accessibility standards
Heading
-
Headings should be used for structure not formatting. Do NOT use headings for images, paragraphs, links or to format text.
Links
- Make sure the link describes where the link goes
- Do not use the URL as the link text
- Do not use, here, click here, more, more info, read more
- Avoid links with the same name that point to different locations.
Broken Links
- When adding a link in Drupal, navigate to the web page and copy the link from the browser
- Web Accessibility can run a quick check for you to see if your links are good
Multimedia
- Make sure you have captions (NOT autogen captions)
- Make sure you have audio descriptions
- Is all the information on the video communicated
- Is there rapid movement
- Is there music playing, if so you must have an audio description of information
