Accessible Design
This site employs many features to make information more accessible:
- Images have text alternates, called "alt text", except decorative images, where alt text is hidden.
- Pages begin with links to skip repetitive menus and move directly to the text of the page.
- The text of links is designed to be clear when using auditory screen readers. Link titles have been added when necessary for extra clarity.
- All links on the National Government Services Web site that lead to other web sites include a graphic with the alternate description "(External)".
- Pages are organized to make sense in text-only browsers, and with style sheets turned off in visual browsers.
- All pages are designed with separate cascading style sheets, so the styles can be disabled.
- All data tables are structured with row and column headings that can be used in nonvisual browsers.
- Colors on this site have been selected to provide sufficient contrast for people who are colorblind or have visual impairments.
- The content is written clearly and succinctly.
