[Accessibleweb] Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up, Thu 4/14/22 at 10 AM PT

[Hadi Rangin]

Hi everyone,

It is almost time for our monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up!
Please join us for another casual and friendly virtual meeting to discuss some accessibility challenges.

Topic 1: Review website/applications
Reviewing your site/application for accessibility is the main component of this meet-up and we all learn from such reviews.
As always, let me know if you would like to review your site/application for accessibility.

Topic 2: UW Surgery Website Accessibility
Stacy Nagy, Michael Hilleary and Bethanie Johnson from the Department of Surgery (DoS) Web Management Team have recently become aware of accessibility issues on the DoS website (https://uwsurgery.org/), and are working to fully assess the situation and fix these problems. The DoS website serves as the primary resource for potential patients, residents/fellows and workforce members to learn about the clinical programs, research, and surgical training opportunities offered by the DoS. The Web Management Team is seeking feedback to enhance the overall accessibility of this site, with special attention to screen reader functionality, as well as recommendations for tools/resources for testing. Please note, new hero images with increased contrast will be uploaded to the homepage and division landing pages prior to this meeting.

About Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up

Our meetings usually consist of two 30 minute segments. The first 30 minutes of our meetings are dedicated to casually reviewing your projects. This generally includes lots of hands on testing and code review. If you are working on a project and would like to get accessibility feedback from your peers, please let us know and we will add it to the agenda. We always encourage you to bring your own sites and topics, as it is a great learning experience for everyone.

Then for the last half of the meeting we have some topics we would like to bring to you to discuss, although we may not have time to cover all of them in depth.
