The DO-IT pages form a living document and are regularly updated. We
strive to make them universally accessible. We minimize the use of
graphics and photos, and provide descriptions of them when they are
included. Video clips are open captioned, providing access to users
who can't hear the audio, and audio described for those who cannot see the visual display. Suggestions for increasing the
accessibility of these pages are welcome. To learn more about
accessible Web page design, go to our list of
Web development resources.
