Text-only pages should be used ONLY when there is no other way to create accessible content for your web pages. A text-only page is not an option to avoid modifying existing content to be accessible.

When creating text-only pages, keep the following conditions in mind:

• A text-only page must be modified and updated anytime the primary page is
• The link to the text-only page should be located near the top of the primary page for easy access
• Creating a text-only page means you are maintaining two versions of the same web page
• The text only page should remove all tables, frames, images, scripts and any other components that rely on third-party applets
