This Web site conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1998 (Section 508) except for:
1. The Alta Vista Babel Fish language translator is accessible. However once a page is translated into a foreign language, it may no longer be useable with assistive devices especially screen readers. It would also be confusing for anyone with a learning deficit. The browser's back button will change the page back to English. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience. One definition of accessibility is inclusion. It is important to include people whose native language is not English.
2. The Portfolio page is an entire school year's worth of Web design assignments. They vary from a page with no tables to Flash with sound. I did not decide to specialize in accessible Web design until recently. So I am still retrofitting those old pages.
This Web site has also been checked with the Lynx text-only browser to ensure that the pages linearalize correctly.
