Summary
This Success Criterion requires that information, structure, and relationships conveyed through a webpage’s presentation can be programmatically determined or provided. Meaning, users should be able to understand the layout and navigate through a site, even if they use assistive technology or remove styles.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Beyond what eyes can see, there lies a deeper truth
Success Criterion 1.3.1 shows us the proof
When structure’s locked in visuals alone
Some users get left behind, disconnected, on their own
What’s obvious to sight must translate to code
So everyone can access the information road
CHORUS:
Structure in the code, not just what you see
Relationships that work programmatically
More than visual cues, more than what you hear
Making digital worlds where everyone belongs here
VERSE 2:
Headings, lists, and tables need their markup clear
Not just bold and color that disappear
When assistive tech reads what’s on the screen
It needs the bones beneath, not just what’s seen
A form field needs a label, not just nearby text
Tables need their headers, relationships connect
Visual presentation’s just the start
The code must tell the story for every single part
CHORUS:
Structure in the code, not just what you see
Relationships that work programmatically
More than visual cues, more than what you hear
Making digital worlds where everyone belongs here
BRIDGE:
Information, structure, relationships entwined
When they’re programmed in, no one’s left behind
Not just how it looks but what it truly means
That’s the power of code behind the screens
Adapt the presentation, preserve the core
That’s what accessibility is for!
