When Douglas developed a new site for the department of Applied Mathematics, he worked with Disability Services to test his site for accessibility errors. Erin knows about universal design problems from two perspectives - he is web developer, but also a user with low vision. Douglas and Erin will provide an overview of what it takes to make accessible sites, with demos of sites that they have worked on and the tools they use for testing.
