All text on the UCVTS website should be formatted with the following guidelines to maintain ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance:

• No text may have Bold, Italic, or Underlined effects.
  • Instead, use approved Headings to change your text. (See examples in the Headings tab.)

• No text may have the color changed from the default color.*
  • Color changes are permitted through the use of approved Headings (See examples in the Headings tab.)

• Text font may not be changed from the default website style.
  • Instead, use approved Headings to change your text. (See examples in the Headings tab.)

• Text alignment should be kept at "Left Alignment" in most situations.*
  • Images and certain "webpage apps" may adjust alignment automatically.

• All external links (links to websites other than www.ucvts.org) must contain "alt text" that displays the external site and must open in a new window.
  • Example: (hover over link for alt text) Google.com

• Internal links (links to pages in the www.ucvts.org site) may open in the same window.

• "Number" and "Bullet" lists are permitted.

Headings are text styles built into a website to denote a text hierarchy both visually on a page and audibly when run through accessibility programs. They are adjusted in size, color, and occasionally font to best match the website they are used on and are ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant.

When using Headings on the UCVTS website, they are styled as follows:

H1 is considered a main title. The text is much larger than average text, dark, and "bold." Use sparingly.

H2 is considered a sub title. The text is larger than average text and blue in color. Consider using this Heading to signal the start of a new topic or title a list of information.

H3 is considered a heading. The text is what we would traditionally consider "bold," and is roughly the same size as average text. The color appears a dark grey (due to the "bold" effect.) Consider using this when marking a sub-category topic or highlighting an important sentence / note.

H4 is considered a sub-heading. The text is very similar to H3, but is slightly smaller. Consider using this when "bolding" several sentences or a paragraph is required.

This is standard text. This text has no heading and is here for reference to the other headings.

Images are permitted on the UCVTS website and have the following guidelines:

• Any image on the website that displays the recognizable image of a student must be appropriately checked to ensure the reqognizable students have a photo release approval on file with the district.

• Any image must be appropriately checked to be appropriate and in full compliance with both the District Handbook and the AUP.

• Images must contain material that the UCVTS District has the right to display online, whether by owning the material or the material is free for public use.

• All images displayed on the website must contain "alt text" that describes the content of the image for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance.
  • When uploading images to the website, the upload window will allow you to enter "Alt Text."
  • Additonally, if you need to adjust your "Alt Text," you may Right Click an image to  edit the information. Through this method, the alt text is called the "Image Title."

• This is an example of an image with proper "Alt Text." Hover your mouse over the image to reveal the "Alt Text."
