Web Accessibility & Site Executive
By following a few simple guidelines while working within Site Executive, you can build sites that meet Section 508 guidelines for Web Accessibility. 

 Use Alt tags whenever possible on links and images.  Enter descriptive text in the Alt. Text field when adding an image to a page in Site Executive.  Enter descriptive text in the Title field when adding a link to a page in Site Executive

 Use simple color schemes.  Don't create a page where color is the only method of emphasis.  These types of schemes limit access to people that cannot clearly distinguish different colors.

 Never use flashing elements on your page, these can cause seizures in some individuals.

 When using data tables on your page, keep it simple.  The more complicated the table, the more cumbersome it is for those using assistive technology to decipher the information.
