Whilst we cannot guarantee the quality or accessibility of content not published by Amnesty we have designed the website to <a href="http://www.w3.org/">W3C</a> standards and we aim for AA compliance.</p> <br /><p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org">World Wide Web consortium</a> develops protocols and guidelines to ensure websites are as accessible to as many people as possible.</p> <br /><p>For Amnesty this involved using a number of technological and design implementations, meeting certain standards criteria and developing clear editorial guidelines for content published by Amnesty. This includes:</p> <br /><ul> <br /> <li>text size throughout the site can be altered by using your browser settings</li> <br /> <li>all Amnesty produced images, audio and video files are accompanied by descriptions or alt tags</li> <br /> <li>Clear and consistent navigation and layout</li> <br /> <li>Use of XHTML Transitional 1.0</li> <br /> <li>Amnesty content written in plain language</li> <br /> <li>Use of jargon kept to a minimum</li> <br /> <li>Standard formats for different page types</li> <br /></ul> <br /><br /> Sara Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:18:30 +0100 http://protectthehuman.amnesty.org.uk/articles/accessibility http://protectthehuman.amnesty.org.uk/articles/accessibility
