Web Accessibility

When submitted words and images for posting on the website, please read the following first.

Do Not Send Images of Text

Images of text are inaccessible to users for a few reasons:

  • They cannot be accessed by assistive technology, such as screen readers or text-to-speech software.
  • It’s a bad experience on mobile (students predominantly use their phones to access web content)
  • Low vision users may struggle with images of text: JPG and PNG images of text cannot be scaled up by users with low vision without becoming blurry
  • Images must be high quality or they become blurry when zoomed in.

Please see Digital Accessibility Princeton University for examples of how to include text and images together in a post.
