Document files
Please make all documents upladed as accessible as possible. Adobe Acrobat has an accessibility tool which can help with creating accessible PDFs. And most Microsoft products have an accessibility checker that can be used to identify accessibility concerns in documents. 

Image files
Avoid using images with text in them. Text in an image makes it inaccessible to screenreaders. If there is a small amount of text in an image (like a logo) make sure that text is represented in the alt text field of the image. Images with lots of text (like a flyer) should not be used on the website.

File names may only include:

• Lowercase letters
• Numbers
• Dashes
• Underscores

 

Characters that are not allowed:

• Uppercase letters
• Spaces
• Special characters such as ,./;'!@#$%^&*
   

File names are also limited to 25 characters or less.

If a file name does not comply with this standard, an error message will appear and prompt you to re-name it.

Please note:

• This change will not affect any files that already exist. Only new files or any existing files that you rename will be affected.
• The file name standard does apply to file extensions. An image file named “graduation.JPG” will flag as not in compliance. So check your file extensions!

When uploading files, make sure to name the files so it's easy to identify a particular image or document later. The default file names that phones and cameras assign photos isn't going to be helpful. Naming the file to include the name of the subject or event and maybe a date will go a long way to helping you know what photos you have uploaded to use on your web pages. Examples:

• students-river-4-23.jpg instead of DSC002673.jpg
• gus-parade-highfive.jpg instead of Gus at Parade highfive.JPG

All CMS files must be no larger than ____.  If you upload a larger file, you will get an error message.

Please make sure to do all image editing (resizing, cropping, etc.) before you  upload the image into the CMS.
