Niya.org was designed using XHTML and CSS. This website was checked for accessibility through Bobby and passed the U.S. Section 508 Guidelines and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 Priority AA.

NOTE: We used alt null tags for repetitive images. This will come up as an accessibility error on online validators.


Key Access Navigation:

Niya.org's main links, the tab navigation, can be accessed with your keyboard. This feature is supported by the following web browsers: Internet Explorer 4+ (Windows) 5+ (Mac), Mozilla (Windows & Linux), Netscape 6+ (Windows), and Opera 7 (Windows & Linux).

To navigate: Windows (ALT + Key) and Macs (CONTROL + Key)

Tab Navigation:

Another option for keyboard navigation is to use your TAB button. The main links are numbered so when you press the TAB key once it will highlight or outline Skip Navigation. The second time you press the TAB key will highlight or outline About Me and so on. Browsers that support this feature are Internet Explorer 4+ (Windows) 5+ (Mac), Camino (Mac), Netscape 6+ (Windows & Mac), and Opera 6+ (Windows & Mac).

Note: You may have to press the TAB button more than once in order to work. In some browsers pressing the TAB button will highlight the browser's address text box first.
