Ongoing Efforts
PVCC views accessibility as an ongoing effort, not a one-time goal. As we publish new content and update existing materials, accessibility review is a standard part of the process.
Ongoing efforts include:
- Web pages run through W3C compliant validators to monitor compliance with WCAG guidelines.
- Providing documents in accessible formats, including properly tagged PDFs.
- Ensuring adequate color contrast and readable font sizes.
- Adding alternative text to images.
- Using meaningful link descriptions.
- Structuring content with proper headings for screen reader compatibility.
- Testing materials with assistive technologies.
