SECTION 508 & ACCESSIBLE DESIGN

There are two types of accessible web design:

1. Basic accessibility - meeting Section 508 guidelines
2. Advanced accessibility - exceeding Section 508 guidelines by incorporating recommendations from the W3C's WAI Priorities I-III

I create accessible web designs by mixing:

1. Standards-compliant XHTML
2. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
3. Accessible Flash components
4. A wide variety of publishing programs

The combination makes it easy to create beautifully rich designs that are still completely accessible - and tested across a suite of online accessibility testers including Watchfire's WebXACT, Wave, HiSoftware, Cynthia Says and others.

This website is an example of a rich graphic design that meets and exceeds Section 508 standards for accessibility.  |
