Overview
Accessibility is about people. Digital accessibility means that websites, apps, and other digital tools are usable for everyone. Accessible content allows people to perceive, navigate, and interact with information in ways that meet their needs.
CHSSWeb is designed to meet accessibility standards. To maintain the accessibility of your website, though, all content—including text, images, videos, audio, and documents—must also meet these standards.
CHSSWeb provides tools and resources to help you with this. This section contains resources and guidance to help you create accessible content and make your website a welcoming experience for all visitors.
Please contact the CHSSWeb team if you would like to discuss your websites accessibility or get helping remediating any issues.
