The Penobscot County Cooperative Extension website (www.umext.maine.edu) is designed with features that improve accessibility for all users. 

  • Alternate text descriptions are provided for all graphical elements.
  • All information required for navigation or meaning is not dependent on the ability to identify specific colors.
  • Documents are organized so they are readable without requiring an associated style sheet.
  • Identification of row and column headers are provided for all data tables.
  • Use of blinking and marquee elements are avoided. 
  • Web pages require no special plug-ins or downloads, and are not browser specific.
  • All PDF (portable document format) documents have corresponding HTML (hypertext mark-up language) versions.
  • All pages are designed for quick download times to accommodate users who rely on older computers or slow Internet connections. 

The Penobscot County Cooperative Extension web site meets The University of Maine accessibility guidelines.  

All of PCCE's pages have been tested and meet Priority 1 and 2 of the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

We welcome comments on how to improve the accessibility of PCCE's site for users with disabilities. Send comments, suggestions or inquiries to ttilton@umext.maine.edu
