Website Accessibility
How can we design our website for all users?
In four weeks, we converted the ISE departmental website to be fully accessible and inclusive. This included simplifying content to meet readability standards, converting PDFs to be screen reader friendly, and updating navigation for low vision users to easily use webpages to achieve accessibility compliant (AC) standards.
