Website Redesign, Readability & Accessibility - Lessons from the Trenches
Government agencies serve at the will of the people, but government websites sometimes have a hard time keeping up with modern expectations - and industry standards. This two-fold presentation will cover what you need to know (and communicate) before, during and after a website redesign. The County of San Luis Obispo’s Communications Analyst Whitney Szentesi will cover redesigning websites for government and how you can keep citizens and employees engaged in the process. Then, Anthem, Arizona's Communications & Public Affairs Director Kristi Northcutt will demonstrate how her team re-vamped their city’s website using W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, known as WCAG 2.0. Take home tips and tricks on a budget that will bring your city's website into readability and accessibility compliance - whether during a redesign or as it applies to your current site.
