The reachAbility Association’s web site was completely re-built from scratch. the previous rendition was a number of years old and was created with tables. Due to the abundance of research materials & resources the folder structure was categorized; tables were replaced with divisions using valid XHTML & CSS.
It also had a separate sister ‘text site’ to allow vision impaired readers access to the content. This was replace with a small amount of javascript offering zoom buttons for larger/smaller and contrast text on the site.
I’ve tried to keep the site as accessible as possible for people with various disabilities with text size options, style options, and relative meta tags and tab indexes.
To give the web site more visibility and to help expand their visitor base I’ve added short videos and photo galleries to give the reader a slice of the reachAbility life, happenings and events. The links section is one of the most exhaustive compilations of links for education, employment, government and a wide range of organizations and helpful sites.
It has been over a year since we first began, and working with the staff and volunteers at the organization has broadened my vision and I consider this site my labour of love.
*UPDATE-This is no longer an AMPwerx project.
