WEB SITE ACCESSIBILITY |
|
The White House makes every effort possible to produce web pages that are fully accessible to the
widest range of Internet users. To that end, WHITEHOUSE.ORG takes advantage of various technologies
intended to facilitate access for the differently abled, physically challenged, and all manner of
otherwise physically or morally crippled persons.
- Computers: In the interest of expediting both the creation and dissemination of textual,
graphical, and photographic content, White House personnel have made extensive use of computers in
the creation of this web site.
- White Backgrounds: All pages on WHITEHOUSE.ORG have been carefully programmed to simulate
the appearance of the printed word on white paper. This simulation not only makes
individual letters and words much easier to read than they would be on say, simulated alabaster or
papyrus-hued paper, but it also serves as a subtle and persistent reminder of the pigmentation of
the rightful and deserving ruling class of these United States.
- Non-Gratuitous Verbiage: In keeping with President Bush’s determined effort to
differentiate his administration from that of the privileged Ivy League intelligentsia who
made up previous administrations, WHITEHOUSE.ORG will employ language characterized by a strict
adherence to a 6th Grade reading level (or below).
- Focus Groups: Both the design and content of WHITEHOUSE.ORG are subjected to rigorous
monthly focus grouping, in which swing-state users of infinitesimal intellect and unpredictable
voting patterns are asked to interpret the site’s message, aesthetic merit, and perceived sexual
orientation.
These and many other measures are outlined in the WHITEHOUSE.ORG Access Board's 4-Volume 2002
Encyclopedia of Internet Accessibility, which is newly available for purchase ($575.99) at
the White House Gift Emporium.
