Documentation:Digital Tattoo Student Orientation/Accessibility

Overview

In Digital Tattoo site, we try to aim to make the site accessible. We will use Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 as a guideline.

Please make sure to tag all images appropriately and follow the checklist when posting content.

We can aim for AA ranking for the WCAG2.0 guideline - since AAA ranking can be very challenging to meet.
