Web Page Accessibility

When providing information to be posted on the web, please remember to:

1. Provide alt text for all photos.
2. Use descriptive title for links. For example, if your link text is "Copper Country," then the screen reader will say "link Copper Country" and the user will know that the webpage being linked to is likely about the Copper Country. If instead, your link text is "click here," the screen reader will say link click here and the user will have no idea what the link might be to.
   1. Good example:
      1. Michigan Tech and the Copper Country [link embedded into the text] have a small-town feel. Students and community members say it's just right—not so big that it's easy to get lost, but not too small, either. An ideal place to call home.
   2. Bad example:
      1. Michigan Tech and the Copper Country have a small-town feel. Students and community members say it's just right—not so big that it's easy to get lost, but not too small, either. An ideal place to call home. Click here [“here” in the linked text] to learn more.
3. Avoid the use of caps as these can be more difficult to read. The exception would be acronyms such as ODI, etc.
4. Do not use underlined text as it looks like a link and can be confusing.
5. If there are more than two lines to be centered, make text left-aligned as it will be easier to read.
