CS+Department+Website

=Computer Science Department Website=

The CS department website contains links for Undergraduates, Graduates, Alumni, Faculty positions, etc. It is the main page for the Computer Science program, and links to the class webpages for each CS class.

Percievable

 * ===Non-text content:===
 * The few images on website do have alt-text
 * ===Adaptable:===
 * Due to solid HTML coding, disabling all styles still presents readable, organized information
 * ===Distinguishable:===
 * Use of color: The website has a minimal use of color to distinguish elements, once again solid HTML is a help

Operable

 * ===Keyboard accessible:===
 * The website is completely accessible via the tab key on a keyboard, and no elements will "trap" the focus on them.
 * ===Navigable:===
 * The website contains multiple navigation bars to quickly get to where the user would like to go. This, in combination with the keyboard accessibility, makes the website quite navigable. Clear and present headings promote good organization.

Understandable

 * ===Readable:===
 * The language of the webpage cannot be programmatically determined, and must be assumed to be English.
 * ===Predictable:===
 * The website does not change drastically when giving focus to any items on the page.

Robust

 * ===Compatible:===
 * Validating the webpage with the w3c validator ([]) shows few errors, but could use some improvements to meet standards.

Considering the website has a well structured layout, accessibility should be quite high. Unfortunately it is not perfect, and could use some small improvements. All in all though, it performed well, as expected for the Computer Science department.
