This is the "Web Accessibility" table that we made together in class. It is our goal in this class to make our websites as accessible as possible. We downloaded an extension (of arguable accuracy) that is supposed to simulate various disabilities. We use mainly the color-blindness setting to test how well our websites can be interpreted by colorblind people. This table is just a summary of what we know about web accessibility.

I chose to make a table about snakes for no other reason other than my love for snakes. I find them to be very intriguing animals that are too often misunderstood. While yes, some snakes can be VERY dangerous, like most other animals, they are not evil. They're just another animal in the wild trying to survive. Snakes are also just very pretty to me, and deserve some appreciation.
