Accessibility Statement

This site is designed using Web standards.

Web standards improve the ability of site visitors with physical challenges (sight, hearing, mobility) to access and use a Web site. For example, this Web site is still usable in text-only browsers or on an Internet-enabled wireless phone. Sites designed using Web standards meet the government mandates of Section 508, required of government-funded institutions.

Web standards also can also lower Web development and hosting costs by reducing server loads and time/money investments in re-designs.

The only drawback of Web standards? Browsers more than five years old, such as Netscape 4.7, do not know how to interpret all of the font, color and layout options. To have the best visual design experience for this site (see graphic thumbnail below), use a Web-standards compliant browser, such as Internet Explorer 5+, Netscape 6+, Opera or Firefox.
