WEB ACCESSIBILITY
All TCNJ websites and applications must be accessible by all users, including those with disabilities. While this is a requirement of the
Americans with Disabilities Act, it's also good practice for web development.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are developed through the W3C process in cooperation with individuals and organizations around the
world to provide a single, shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments
internationally. The WCAG documents explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. These standards
address information such as text, images, and sounds. Developers can also learn about techniques for writing code or markup that defines
structure, presentation, etc.
