Here are some main points to remember about ADA compliance and website accessibility:

Links -- Don't display URLs or raw coding on a webpage like this https://www.fcps.net/Page/125 or this, jane.doe@fayette.kyschools.us, because it is awkward for assistive devices and screen-reading software. Instead, simply embed the links like this: Refer to our demo site for resources, or email science teacher Jane Doe.

Hyperlinks -- Avoid generic verbiage like "Click here." Simply embed the link in the text with words specific to the content. 

• Good example: Visit the Fayette County Preschool Program page for instructions on how to apply.

Also, hyperlinks should be unique on a particular webpage. That is, don't repeat any links unless they point to the same destination.

• Example of bad usage: Click this Google form for information about Ms. Smith's class. To follow up with her about the field trip, click this Google form.

Alt text -- Be specific when describing a photo so that you paint a visual picture.

• Bad example: file photo of dogs
• Good visual: three dalmatian puppies sleeping in a pink wicker basket

Graphics / flyers -- Please use these sparingly. When text is laid over a JPEG image, an assistive device or software cannot "read" the words. It's best to use the image as a billboard promo with very few words, and then link the image to the details you've posted under News & Highlights or elsewhere on your site.

• Reminder: Informational flyers are great for sending home in backpacks or posting on hallway bulletin boards, but not so much for websites.
