These guidelines are applicable to all CUL websites, including LibGuides:
Strive to comply with Section 508 in accordance with Columbia University guidelines.
WebAIM and Usability.gov’s Accessibility site are excellent resources for information about compliance and accessibility considerations.
Utilize standard CSS web font stacks for content and navigation.
Webpages should be scalable (responsive); barring that capability, the width of each page should be a minimum of 950 pixels.
Set maximum width of 1200 pixels.
Test website on different monitors, operating systems, devices (including tablet and mobile), and browsers to ensure consistent rendering across platforms. Consult the WCM help desk <cul-wcm@columbia.edu> for questions about accessibility.
