Today’s Tip:

Don’t forget that accessibility is not just a link you put at the bottom of your homepage, it’s something to live by. The more you understand about what makes your site accessible the easier it is to meet and exceed standards and delight anyone using this site. The most overlooked easily remedied accessibility needs are things like using appropriate headers, using link names instead of “click here”, captions on videos and alternate text on all images.

    Could you describe the metrics used to arrive at these scores?

    CW,
    There is no scientific method that I use to arrive at the scores. Based on my reactions, and the overall usability of the site I assign the score arbitrarily. Although they are not scientific the better the user experience the higher the score. It would be impossible to have a check list which ensures a 100% score because every institution is in a different situation to fulfill their users needs.
