There are so many ways to start or continue your accessibility journey!

Organizations: Improve Accessibility, Expand Audience

Another great way to get started is to make sure your website is accessible. We can help with that! Register your organization at loca11y.org. We will conduct an evaluation and provide suggestions on how to make your site accessible to people who are blind, have limited vision or mobility, experience seizures, are Deaf, or have limited mobility. Expand your website’s audience!
