HomeCheckpoint 9.10 - Core
A sitemap has been provided listing main pages in the site
WCAG 1.0 Priority 2
WCAG Guideline 13. Provide clear navigation mechanisms.
One method of finding information on a web site is via a Sitemap of the main sections of a site
Requirement
Ensure that the web site has a sitemap and that all pages link to the sitemap.
Recommendation
Including all pages within a web site in the site map is usually unworkable due to the large number of web pages present. To make the sitemap usable as an alternative global navigation mechanism, ensure that the main sections and subsections of the web site are contained in the sitemap.
Checking Tool
View the site in a browser to check for a sitemap link in the global navigation on the web pages.
