This monthly event is for UCSF website owners, developers, and content creators/editors. Whether you have a UCSF Drupal Site Builder website or a custom website on a different platform, join us as we discuss automated tools such as Siteimprove and best practices for digital accessibility. We want to create and support a culture that sustains the continuous monitoring of UCSF websites for accessibility. What happens? We start the session with a brief announcement, and then we set the agenda based on the needs of the attendees. Carve out time each month to monitor your website for accessibility. Agenda items are gathered live during the first 10 minutes, then they are prioritized by topic, with questions specific to the Siteimprove accessibility module discussed first, followed by general digital accessibility questions on a wide range of topics. If you are new to digital accessibility, don't feel pressured to help create the agenda. You can simply absorb the day's session. We typically discuss best practices for using Siteimprove's accessibility reports and how to resolve the WCAG issues it automatically flags. Get to know others who are committed to creating inclusively designed and compliant public-facing UCSF websites where everyone, especially those who use assistive technologies, can access online information. Because accessibility is a continuous process, we invite you to share the progress you're making on your website's Siteimprove Accessibility score and any other steps you're taking on the path to digital accessibility. We love to celebrate your successes. We're also here to help you with your challenges.
