Through its Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), the World Wide Web Consortium is promoting a greater degree of Web access for people with disabilities. To help support this effort, the Delaware.gov Web Portal was constructed to comply with the accessibility guidelines developed through the WAI. This Portal has achieved Level A compliance with the WAI's accessibility guidelines -- meaning that all priority 1 checkpoints were adhered to in its construction.
In addition, the State of Delaware, through the Electronic Government Steering Committee, will promulgate standards for all state agency web sites to ensure maximum accessibility and compliance with WAI guidelines. Over time, the state agency pages that can be reached through the Delaware.gov Web Portal will come into greater compliance with the standards developed through the WAI. To view the standards currently being developed for Delaware agencies, visit the Delaware Government Information Center web site.
The Delaware.gov Web Portal has been designed to be compatible with a variety of web browsers and operating systems. In addition, to enhance the accessibility of the Delaware.gov site as well as other State of Delaware web content, a suite of services and resources is available free of charge to agencies and citizens through the Accessibility Central web site.
