| (b) Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be synchronized with the presentation. | Synchronized text and/or audio descriptions will appear on the screen. | Meets criteria by providing equivalent alternatives for multimedia presentations. |
| (c) Web pages shall be designed so that all information conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from context or markup. | Avoid color which is tied to decision making. | Meets criteria by not requiring perception of color for decision making. |
| (d) Documents shall be organized so they are readable without requiring an associated style sheet. | All content will be organized and readable without the associated style sheet. | Meets criteria by designing content in an organized fashion. |
| (e) Redundant text links shall be provided for each active region of a server-side image map. | Only client side image maps shall be used. | Meets criteria by not using server side image maps. |
| (f) Client-side image maps shall be provided instead of server-side image maps except where the regions cannot be defined with an available geometric shape. | No server side image maps will be used. | Meets criteria by not designing server side image maps. |
| (g) Row and column headers shall be identified for data tables. | Table summaries, caption, headers, scope, id and axis labels will be used appropriately. | Meets criteria by allowing screen readers to identify the correct data cells to read in an organized manner. |
| (h) Markup shall be used to associate data cells and header cells for data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers. | Complex tables will utilize THEAD, TFOOT and TBODY to group rows, COL and COLGROUP to group columns and "axis" and "scope" attributes to describe relationships between data. | Meets criteria by establishing relationship among data cells. |
| (i) Frames shall be titled with text that facilitates frame identification and navigation. | We avoid the use of framesets, if used, they are titled in a logical order. | Meets criteria by identifying frames and how to navagate them. |
| (j) Pages shall be designed to avoid causing the screen to flicker with a frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz. | We control motion frame rates to avoid screen flicker. | Meets criteria by avoiding screen flicker problems that could effect people with photosensitive epilepsy. |
