mobile-friendly websites."

Hi Claire,
Texas Health and Human Services has a ton of resources on all things
accessibility (including resources for Excel) on their HHS Accessibility
Center <https://accessibility.hhs.texas.gov/resources.htm> page.
I have my own personal checklist and guidelines for Excel that I wrote; if
you're interested I can send them to you, just send me an email (
= EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = ). My checklist is very similar to the one from Texas
HHS; my guidelines include detailed instructions on each checklist item.
(Caveat: most of my experience is in Word and PDF, so my Excel resources
are not as complete as my Word and PDF ones).
