About our web site

1) What is the "skip nav" link ?

The "skip nav link" on each page is just one of many features of our web site designed to ensure that our electronic information is available to the widest possible audience in the most efficient and accessible way. This link makes it possible for people who view the web with alternative user agents, such as J.A.W.S., to skip the repeated navigational elements on each page and go straight to the specific content.

2) What do you do to make wcdd.org as accessible as possible?

We have incorporated several techniques to make this website accessible to our users. We use dynamic fonts which are easily adjusted by individual users to suit their specific needs. We use CSS to separate layout from content. We evaluate content on an ongoing basis and edit pages with too much jargon to an appropriate reading level. If you have any problems using our website please email bpddhelp@wcdd.org or use the WCDD contact form.

3) What about "Access Keys"?

wcdd.org incorporates many features and technologies in a concerted effort to achieve web site accessibility for all persons. Among these are use of the "access key" keyboard feature to jump straight to important links. The invocation of access keys depends on the underlying system. For instance, on machines running MS Windows, one generally has to press the "alt" key in addition to the access key. On Apple systems, one generally has to press the "cmd" key in addition to the access key. And to our Netscape users, please understand that Netscape does not offer support of many of our accessibility features until version 6.0.

The general access keys for wcdd.org are:

• "1" for Home
• "2" for Who We Are
• "3" for What We Do
• "4" for Legislative Platforms
• "5" for Publications
• "6" for Granst ad Contracts
• "7" for Awards
• "8" for Links
• "9" for Help

4) English is not my first language. Can I get your information in another language?
