CSS: Accessibility Tool

By keeping HTML structural, it's easy for lot's of different user agents to get to your content

  • ADA Section 508 (It's the Law - and getting more so...)
    • Target.com, AOL, SouthWest Airlines
  • Search Engines
  • Small-screen devices
  • People and inventions of the future

Note: CSS is seperate from HTML - and it works best when the HTML is 'pure'

  • Valid
  • Structural
    • <h1>Site Title</h1>
    • <h2>Page Name</h2>
    • NOT: <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="+3" color="#FF0000">Something Important!</font></p>
