New City content mangement system, accessibility response
In my inbox today, a response to my question about the accessibility of the City of Ann Arbor’s website:
Thank you for your patience. The city is in the process of converting to new Web site management software. As the city trains its team of Web content editors to work with the new software, the importance of alt tabs [sic] is emphasized, and editors are shown how to complete this important step. The addition of alt tabs is becoming a part of editors’ routine content-updating process.
In addition, the communications office is meeting regularly with members of the city’s commission on disability issues to further help ensure our Web site is accessible to all. This partnership has been very valuable.
I hope you will find our site even more user friendly with the upcoming launch of the new software in the weeks to come. As always, we welcome your feedback.
