Constructing a POUR Website
POUR stands for the principles of an accessible website: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable
and Robust. It's about understanding obstacles people may face when attempting to
access websites, and how web developers and content creators can overcome them.
Webmasters may play a large role in creating an accessible website, but content creators
are equally responsible. Their role is to create an informative, persuasive and positive
experience for all users. Without their help, even the most accessible website components
can be negatively impacted.
People with disabilities can be severely impacted by websites that are not accessible
to them. It's our collective responsibility to ensure that they can access our world-class
education and tools online. Learn what you can to to incorporate accessibility best
practices, and improve your site's experience for everyone.
