Accessibility
Many web sites contain significant barriers to access by not considering disabled users in the design phase. This web site design has followed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to ensure that the web site is accessible to Priority Levels 1 and 2.
Priority 1 – A Web content developer must satisfy this checkpoint. Satisfying this checkpoint is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents.
Priority 2 – A Web content developer should satisfy this checkpoint. Satisfying this checkpoint will remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents.
