==Universal Design Principles==
These principles are taken from [https://projects.ncsu.edu/ncsu/design/cud/pubs_p/docs/poster.pdf The Principles of Universal Design (pdf)] by the [[NC State University College of Design]].
===Principle 1: Equitable use===
The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.

Guidelines:
* 1a. Provide the same means of use for all users: identical where possible; equivalent when not.
* 1b. Avoid segregating or stigmatizing any users.
* 1c. Make provisions for privacy, security, and safety equally available to all users.
* 1d. Make the design appealing to all users.
===Principle 2: Flexibility in Use===
The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.

Guidelines:
* 2a. Provide choice in methods of use.
* 2b. Accommodate right- or left-handed access and use.
* 2c. Facilitate the user's accuracy and precision.
* 2d. Provide adaptability to the user's pace.
===Principle 3: Simple and Intuitive Use===
Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless fo the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.

Guidelines:
* 3a. Eliminate unnecessary complexity.
* 3b. Be consistent with user expectations and intuition.
* 3c. Accommodate a wide range of literacy and language skills.
* 3d. Arrange information consistent with its importance.
* 3e. Provide effective prompting and feedback during and after task completion.
===Principle 4: Perceptible Information===
The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities.

Guidelines:
* 4a. Use different modes (pictorial, verbal, tactile) for redundant presentation of essential information.
* 4b. Maximize "legibility" of essential information.
* 4c. Differentiate elements in ways that can be described (i.e. make it easy to give instructions or directions).
* 4d. Provide compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory limitations.
===Principle 5: Tolerance for Error===
The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.

Guidelines:
* 5a. Arrange elements to minimize hazards and errors: most used elements, most accessible; hazardous elements eliminated, isolated, or shielded.
* 5b. Provide warnings of hazards and errors.
* 5c. Provide fail-safe features.
* 5d. Discourage unconscious action in tasks that require vigilance.
===Principle 6: Low physical effort===
The design can be used efficiently and comfortably with a minimum of fatigue.

Guidelines:
* 6a. Allow users to maintain a neutral body position.
* 6b. Use reasonable operating forces.
* 6c. Minimize repetitive actions.
* 6d. Minimize sustained physical effort.
===Principle 7: Size and Space for Approach and Use===
Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use, regardless of user's body size, posture, or mobility.

* 7a. Provide a clear line of sight to important elements for any seated or standing user.
* 7b. Make reach to all components comfortable for any seated or standing user.
* 7c. Accomodate variations in hand and grip size.
* 7d. Provide adequate space for use of assistive devices or personal assistance.
