Email needs to adhere to Accessibility Standards. This is important for Email Lists, Blog Announcements, attached PDFs etc.
UCANR has many email lists that land in our mailboxes.
- If you use Constant Contact or other external applications for creating html emails, be sure to follow the same html rules that our websites use.
- Do Not make an image based file of a PDF and attach it as the main content. No one using a screen reader can find any content in an image.
- Please be sure to not use tables as a layout tool.
- Make sure any images in the email also have alt attributes.
- Make your layout simple and avoid multi-columns, or complex layouts.
