-In response to Section 508 of the [[1973 Rehabilitation Act|US Rehabilitation Act]], the [[Access Board]] developed standards to which U.S. federal agencies must comply in order to make their sites accessible. The [[U.S. General Services Administration]] has developed a website where one can take online training courses for free to learn about these rules.<ref>Section 508: [http://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=Content&ID=5 508 Training].</ref>
 Examples of website features that can help to make it accessible include the following:
-* Compliance with all guidelines from Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act
 * A high contrast version of the site for individuals with low vision, and a low contrast (yellow or blue) version of the site for individuals with dyslexia
 * Alternative media for any multimedia used on the site (video, flash, audio, etc.) - Often a transcript will suffice
