To ensure that we meet or exceed the requirements of Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (to make all of our Internet documents accessible to everyone), we continually review our site and modify pages to remove accessibility problems.

Access keys are used on main navigational points within this site to allow users to quickly jump to points of interest.

To use access keys with Windows, press ALT + an access key. To use access keys on a Macintosh computer, press Control + an access key.

Some Web conventions have been developed around the use of access keys. The following is a list of values that have been assigned to particular page elements. These values were originally used to standardize all UK government Web sites but have recently evolved into a Web convention shared by many others.

The Web pages of www.michelinman.com have been designed so they are accessible to all users and compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies. Generally, we use Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to create pages and documents that meet accessibility guidelines. In creating XHTML documents, we follow federal regulations by implementing Section 508, along with the World Wide Web Consortiums (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Priorities 1, 2, and 3.

All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. h1 tags are used for main titles; h2 tags for subtitles. This allows people using Screen Readers to skip around to the various sections of a page.

To aid navigation in text-only browsers, all pages within this site make use of the W3Cs link relationship names. Netscape 6 and Mozilla Firefox users can also take advantage of this feature by selecting the View menu, Show/Hide, Site Navigation Bar, Show Only As Needed (or Show Always). The following list shows the relationship names and their conventional interpretations:
