Perform an accessibility audit #121
Comments
Dropping this here for later: https://tenon.io/testNow.php?url=http://www.digitalgov.gov |
Requested an accessibility review from @nickbristow at 18F here: https://github.com/18F/Accessibility_Reviews/issues/23 @jeremyzilar How can we use this as a jumping-off point for more accessibility-related case studies/guides/how-tos? |
I am learning a lot about the Federal CrowdSource Mobile Testing Program #216 and how they do govt-wide testing around mobile. They use Open Opportunities to get people to create reports on mobile-friendlyness and get back a lot of interesting results. Thinking that we might be able to post an open-opportunity around accessibility. |
@jeremyzilar The TTS Accessibility Guild is interested in working with and publishing with digitalgov — so we should follow up with that! |
This audit should be done by Tuesday 11/21, and we can go from there! |
from https://github.com/18F/Accessibility_Reviews/issues/23 I have compiled my results for the index page here, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fEOqYUJqQVhg4VaHI7t21nSIon2jSA-EvmBQfIkJukg/edit#gid=854558714 Anyone at GSA should be able to access that sheet. The main issues i'm seeing are: I would recommend addressing these issues across all pages, and then running a quick scan using a tool such as HTML_Codesniffer, or AXE to verify all issues have been found. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Once you've addressed these issues, i'd be happy to take another look. |
Do we know where we have accessibility problems? I know there are resources within 18F and elsewhere to perform an accessibility audit — and this would probably be a good way to understand our current state and how to measure our progress.
I think we all agree that accessibility concerns are both important to our readers. Additionally, they're important drivers for other design, code, and user experience improvement. Let's make it a priority and take the first step.
