Project details

What we need
  • A list of the common issues along with the prioritization of both severity and impact of the accessibility issues found
  • List of areas that do not meet the Section 508, ADA, WCAG 2.0 guidelines
  • Specific recommendations to improve product accessibility their priority level (low, medium, and high priority)
  • Estimated time needed to fix current compliance issues
Additional details

We are an arts organization, and we want art to be accessible to everyone. In order to achieve this goal, we are hoping to find someone who can help us optimize our website so that all people are able to learn about art and the programs we offer.

What we have in place
  • We currently have an updated website, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a staff member in charge of the website, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,212 , allowing us to put those financial resources towards arts programs that are accessible to all.

One of our values is being an inclusive community that welcomes and values diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, and nurtures an environment that is open and supportive. One of the ways that we will be able to accomplish this, is to have a website that is accessible to people with different physical abilities. An accessible website is a major signpost that people can visit the Art Center and have a welcoming experience with few accessibility issues.

Testimonials

Erin is amazing to work with! She worked with us to do a website accessibility audit. We now have a plan, with achievable items identified for us to work on. She was really wonderful in helping prioritize what we should focus on first versus items that could wait awhile. And she reviewed the whole report with me, making sure I understood the whole thing, including all the technical language. She even said we could have follow-up emails if questions came up. Thank you, Erin, for all your great work!
