Accessibility
“It is important to keep in mind that lawsuits don’t happen because a website didn’t conform to some industry standard like WCAG, but rather because persons with disabilities could not accomplish core tasks on the website in question.” – deque University
In early 2017 I began a project with Legal to ensure that MoneyGram’s websites and web applications met accessibility guidelines as laid out by the World Wide Web’s Consortium (W3C). After training and much research I created:
• A corporate policy on Web Accessibility.
• Corporate guidelines for web developers.
• An auditing and remediation plan.
