Guidelines forWeb Usage
Markup and Validation
Mark up web pages using valid, structural HTML or XHTML to the greatest extent possible. Use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control presentation of the page whenever possible. Table based layouts should be avoided. Deprecated (outdated) markup, such as the <font> and <b> elements, and HTML "hacks" such as invisible spacer images, should not be used.
We encourage web developers to validate their code to ensure compliance with the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) recommendations and the university's Web Accessibility policy (PDF). Free validators are available here:
Accessibility
Web pages should be accessible to people with disabilities. From a web developer's point of view, this means making technology and design choices that are compatible with the way people with disabilities access information on the web.
The recommendations you just read this document can help you get started with web accessibility.
