Accessibility Policy

This is the official accessibility policy for Not in the Gym. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email us at info@notinthegym.com.

Standards compliance

1. All pages on this site are Bobby AA approved, complying with all the Bobby guidelines. This is always a judgement call; many accessibility features can be measured, but many can not. This site has been reviewed and it is believed that all these pages are in compliance.
2. All pages on this site are WCAG AA approved, complying with all priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Again, this is a judgement call; many guidelines are intentionally vague and cannot be tested automatically. This site has been reviewed and it is believed that all these pages are in compliance.
3. All pages on this site are Section 508 approved, complying with all of the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines. Again, a judgement call. This site has been reviewed and it is believed that all these pages are in compliance.
4. All pages on this site validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. This is not a judgement call; a program can determine with 100% accuracy whether a page is valid XHTML. For example, check the home page for XHTML validity.

Text

1. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers. For those using Internet Explorer, go to View > Text Size > and select your desired size. For Firefox users, simply hold the CTRL button and press + or - to increase or decrease the size.
2. Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
3. Links are written to make sense out of context.

Visual design

1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout, and semantic XHTML for structure.
2. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
3. All images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
4. Complex images include LONGDESC attributes or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.
