**Perceivable: ** **Guideline 1.1 Text Alternatives - Partially implemented because: ** **Guideline 1.2 Time Based Media- Not Applicable. ** **Guideline 1.3 Adaptable - Partially implemented because: ** **Guideline 1.4 Distinguishable - Partially implemented because: **
 * There is a decorative image on top of the page however it has not been implemented in a way that it can be ignored by assistive technology.
 * 
 * **alt= “Hero” **should be changed to alt = “”
 * There are several other none-decorative images, linked to other websites, which also violates the 1.1 guideline by not providing any text alternatives and causing confusion for disabled users.
 * Under __featured Items__ category there are images of featured items(clothing and more) with very descriptive text alternatives.
 * I used pendule for chrome to cancel all styles on the page. The structure remained the same for the top portion however it changed for the bottom half and became very disorganized and confusing (the flash piece was randomly placed in the middle while everything else was positioned on the left side).
 * The text is resizable
 * Some Image texts are fairly small and cannot be resized up to 200 percent without assistive technology.
 * They have maintained a consistent light text on dark background contrast however the text is light gray on green (not the best combination).

 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 110%;">Not keyboard accessible because not all drop down menus can be reached via keyboard shortcuts and there is trap in the drop down menu Apparel.
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">The flash piece at the bottom of the page has three checkmarks that only flash once per second hence it does not violate guideline 2.3.2 which states that “ <span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria,serif;"> [|Web pages] do not contain anything that [|flashes] more than three times in any one second period. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">”
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 110%;">Important links related to books(eTextbooks, rentals and more) are placed at the bottom of the page where as the links to the clothing are at the top of the page (keep in mind that this is a book store).
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 110%;">The purpose of the link can clearly be determined from the link text alone
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 110%;">Poor use of headings

 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 110%;">After checking the page, which was designed with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, on validator.w3.org I discovered that the page has 264 errors, and out of those errors the page contains incorrectly nested elements and several malformed closing tags which could cause an assistive program to crash.
