In response to the needs ensuring equal access to electronic and information technologies, Growing Greener II has been developed according to a set of Universal Access Design standards for Web pages. DCED is pleased to provide an alternative medium for accessing information about our programs and services. Growing Greener II has Universal Access Design standards for Web pages incorporated into its codebase in recognition of those individuals with visual, physical, or developmental disabilities.

Universal Access Design calls for appropriate use of auxiliary aids and services where necessary to ensure clear communication. The adhered to standards are developed in part based on recommendations by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). The process of incorporating Universal Access Design elements into Growing Greener II will evolve as the site grows, and also as the standards themselves grow.
