In order to make this site more accessible, the Aboriginal Canada Portal has employed templates which:

are XHTML 1.0 Strict conformant, to improve compatibility with adaptive technologies, handheld devices, browsers, and search engines;

have been successfully tested on a wide range of adaptive technologies and browser/platform combinations to ensure that users can access Web pages regardless of the technology used;

include major components, such as the common menu bar, side menu, and content area that are properly marked up with headings to simplify navigation with a screen reader;

employ table-less layout and design to simplify screen reader navigation by reducing the structural complexity of Web pages;

improve accessibility by allowing visitors to configure visual elements to meet their accessibility needs;

use scaleable fonts and text-based navigational elements to improve accessibility and simplify navigation using adaptive technologies;

provide printer-friendly functionality in the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to render pages more compatible with printers and to prevent printing unnecessary page elements;

separate visual presentation from the document structure;

avoid truncated and overlapped elements at very large font sizes;

display the title value when a link gains keyboard focus; and

employ skip navigation links at the beginning of the page for quickly moving to the content or the institutional links. These skip navigation links become visible when a mouse pointer hovers over top or when selected using a keyboard or other alternate input device.
