The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) is committed
to providing its resources and services to everyone.

To that end, NCWIT and its web development team at Insight Designs Web Solutions, LLC, created a website that is accessible to people with disabilities -- including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive and neurological disabilities.

This website offers the following accessibility features, which are also in accordance with Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Guidelines:

• Multiple means are available for obtaining information; i.e. to access a particular page of the site, a user can use the main site navigation, the quick search, the keyword search or the site map.
• Live text is used as often as possible so that users can increase the font size.
• The design is implemented in such a way that increasing font size does not "break" the site's visual design.
  
• Alt attributes are used on images to describe the function of each visual piece.
  
• Closed captioning is offered on video files.
  
• Hypertext links are made up of phrases that make sense when read out of context (not just "click here").
• Secondary navigation is hard-coded on all internal pages for ease of movement within each section of the site.
  
• CSS is used for layout and style.
• Consistent structure is employed throughout site.
• Breadcrumbs and page headers are included on each page to ensure users know where they are on the site.
  
• A print-this-page feature is included with a separate print CSS that does not include background images, navigation, etc.
  
• No frames are used.
• The markup language on each page passes validation
