Level Double - A Conformance to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0
NatureBase is, has been, and will always be committed to making information accessible to everyone over the internet, by conforming to standards as set by the World Web Consortium (W3C). NatureBase will enure strict conformance to level Double-A of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, including all Priority 1 and Priority 2 checkpoints defined in the guidelines. The guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance to these guidelines will help make the web more accessible to users with disabilities and will benefit all users.
WAI, in coordination with organisations around the world, pursues accessibility of the web through five primary areas of work: technology, guidelines, tools, education and outreach, and research and development.
Please contact us if we don't meet your expectations, or there is an issue with accessibility.
