Introduction

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.

Access keys

In a web browser an access key or access key allows a computer user to immediately jump to a specific part of a page via the keyboard. In most web browsers, the user invokes the access key by pressing the "alt" (on PC) or "ctrl" (on Mac) key simultaneously with the appropriate character on the keyboard. In this case only numbers are used to avoid interference with default browser functionality.

• Access key 1, directs to the "About me" page.
• Access key 2, directs to the "Clients" page.
• Access key 3, directs to my "Resumé" page.
• Access key 4, directs to a listing of my "Research Papers".
• Access key 5, directs to the "contact form" which can be used to email me.
• Access key 7, directs to this page.

Tab order

By pressing the tab key you can quickly navigate through the navigation list.

Other tricks

There is a link on the top, only visible for screen-readers, to skip the top of the pages (navigation and such).

Abbreviations and links are either self-explanatory, given an explanation or a title to give them meaning.

Tables are made readable line by line and the same holds for forms, which aside are given an explicit order.

Contrast colors were chosen in such a way that they will not have a negative effect.

Enlarging the page or content can be realized through pressing the "ctrl" key and "+" or to scroll with your mouse. To return to the default sizing use "ctrl" and "0".
