Web accessibility - High Contrast web pages, duplicate content and SEO

[Bee159]

Hi all,

I'm working with a client who has various URL variations to display their content in High Contrast and Low Contrast. It feels like quite an old way of doing things.

The URLs look like this:

domain.com/bespoke-curtain-making/ - Default URL
domain.com/bespoke-curtain-making/?style=hc - High Contrast page
domain.com/bespoke-curtain-making/?style=lc - Low Contrast page

My questions are:

• Surely this content is duplicate content according to a search engine
• Should the different versions have a meta noindex directive in the header?
• Is there a better way of serving these pages?

Thanks.

Hi,

In your case best option would be use rel="canonical" and I assume you want to index default URL.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
