If we can’t solve your problem, we’ll provide site content in a format you can use.
Implementation
To make Composition Forum accessible, we use the following techniques:
- Headlines are used on every page, so users can move around documents quickly.
- “Printable versions” are created on the fly using cascading style sheets, so we do not have to synchronize different versions of articles. This ensures the most up-to-date content.
- Text sizes are relative, so increasing the font size should work well.
- Standards-compliant markup is used for all pages.
- Text descriptions are included for all images related to article content.
- Videos created by writers are captioned; videos writers link are captioned or transcribed.
- We avoid complex data tables and mark up tables with headers whenever possible.
We welcome your suggestions for further improving our journal’s accessibility.
