INZ Website Design Policies

Accessibility

  • Lowest common denominator access. Impacts:
    • No Flash or other "bells'n'whistles"
    • Minimise graphics use and size
    • No frames - alternative navigation required
    • Not graphic dependent navigation (i.e. some turn off graphics)
  • Range of platforms. Impacts:
    • No product-specific code
    • Work to W3C and WAI standards
    • Check output on at least two browsers, in least two versions of browsers, ideally check on non-PC output (Unix, Linux, Mac)
    • Server-side programming
  • Assume people accessing the site range from fully abled to disabled in a variety of ways (e.g. hearing impaired, vision impaired, arthritis). Impacts:
    • Print size
    • Colours
    • Label all graphics
  • Restrictions on access - transparency and openness.
    • Password protection only for sensitive or privacy related areas
    • Access should be open unless a very good reason not to be - therefore reports may be mostly accessible but have sections restricted
