Best Practices
Content is presented in various forms on the CSULB website and accessibility needs to be addressed in similar for each Format. To simplify this approach, we can use the HELPS Acronym:
- Headings
- Explain audio-visual content
- Language
- Presentation
- Structure
This organization distills the WCAG 2.1 level AA Criteria into what content creators need to know to make their content accessible. In addition to the basic guidelines, guides are available for specific formats showing typical actions taken to make those formats accessible.
This may not be sufficient for all use cases, and if you are developing apps with more complex requirements or need more comprehensive training, please contact ATI Compliance for assistance.
The following is a listing of specific guidelines by media type with directions for how to use them when creating content for the university web site.
