We welcome any comments, questions, or feedback on our site. If you notice aspects of our site that aren’t working for you or your assistive technology, please let us know.

Site Features and Best Practices

• Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols, or more straightforward language.
• Provide alternatives for time-based media such as captioning and transcripts.
• Create content that can be presented differently without losing information or structure. For example, news, events, and stories begin with an h1 heading, and we’ve done our best to ensure headings follow a logical order.
• Make it easier for users to see and hear content, including separating foreground from background.
• Make all functionality available from a keyboard.
• Do not create content in a way that is known to cause seizures.
• Provide ways to help users navigate, find content, and determine where they are.
• Make text content readable and understandable.
• Make web pages appear and operate in predictable ways.
• Maximize compatibility with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies.

How we test the platform

Along with testing in modern browsers, we use manual testing with keyboard and screen reader, and automated testing with Site Improve, Dubbot, and aXe (the accessibility engine).
