Do you know if your site meets the ? This summer, we're putting together a web accessibility team to perform an audit blitz on a select number of WMS websites. The team will be staffed by work study students and overseen by Digital Communications.聽
Starting with a site's top level pages, team members will evaluate content to identify and address accessibility issues. If you choose to participate, we'll assign a team member to your site for a one week period. For larger sites, we'll focus on addressing key pages: we may not have the time to fully evaluate and update everything. Participating departments can also suggest pages to be included in the audit. Any changes the team makes will be left in a draft state for the site's manager or administrator to review and publish.
