Guideline 14. Ensure that documents are clear and simple.
Checkpoint 14.3 - Create a style of presentation that is consistent across pages.
A consistent method of presentation of content, navigational elements (such as navigation bars and search boxes) and style (such as colours and fonts) can help to orient both novice users and those with learning and reading difficulties.
How do I do it?
Use templates and style sheets to help to keep pages consistent across the site. The use of linked style sheets facilitates consistency, whereas embedded or inline styles are less likely to remain consistent after updates.
How do I check that it meets the WCAG criteria?
As with Guideline 13.4, a range of pages should be checked from each site to ensure consistency in presentation. Where any of these pages are distinctly different from the others the site will have failed the check.
