As a Usability and Accessibility expert, I have extensive experience developing Section 508 / Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant web sites, retrofitting existing web sites to meet Section 508 standards, and training web development and lay staff on technology accessibility issues.
Section 508 Accessible Web sites
Coding accessible web sites not only benefits individuals with visual impairments and motor control concerns, but also benefits users with slow connectivity, small screens such as cell phones and personal digital assistants (PDA), and text only interfaces. Although some clients prefer form over function, most clients realize that creating accessible web sites from the start reduces maintenance costs, improves download time and does not negatively impact design. Accessible web sites I have developed include:
Section 508 Compliance Retrofits
Projects include
