[Michlib-l] Website Building

[Katharine Lion]

Hello,
We do all our web stuff in house. We're a very small library but I created
our website on wordpress using Elementor 3 years ago (I'm a graphic
designer with experience building websites). For the last few months, I've
been re-working the website to be ADA compliant. This has been a little
tricky because Elementor doesn't give you access to html coding for most of
the site. But they've been making some changes and it is getting easier to
make the changes I need in regards to Aria-labels, etc. Still working on
the skip links and homepage though.

I use google lighthouse to check my compliance as I work.

All the advice I've learned on becoming ADA web compliant suggests starting
from scratch but since we had just done a total overhaul, I wasn't willing
to do that and frankly it's worked out fine for us.

I do suggest creating an accessibility page
<https://bridgmanlibrary.com/accessibility/>with a note on using third
party widgets, as well as putting the most important information in purely
text.
