Ensure that site is accessible
stvnrlly opened this issue · comments
There are a variety of online tools to do this. It may also be worthwhile to have pa11y check the website listed in any project on the projects page and include that in the display.
Excellent suggestion! Might want to consider working with DCPL; they have an accessibility lab and do good work; actually we should make an accessibility checklist for all our projects and recommend to people to test for these things
some suggestions:
ensure everything is html compliant http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=codefordc.org&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
add alt text for images
check the site using WAVE http://wave.webaim.org/report#/codefordc.org
check colors for colorblindness
check structure/navigation in JAWS (or other screen readers) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAWS_%28screen_reader%29
This is done. There's also now a dashboard of sites up at accessfordc.herokuapp.com. I also checked out the HTML CodeSniffer for finding all of the elements on the site and it was very useful.
