Accessible Campaign Pages for All Users With Disabilities

in progress

Nick Farano

Please make campaign pages accessible to section 508 and/or WCAG standards so users with disabilities (including Blindness) can access the website and make a donation without issue using assistive technology. Stripe already meets these requirements I believe.

For those interested: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 defines how to make Web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Accessibility involves a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities. Although these guidelines cover a wide range of issues, they are not able to address the needs of people with all types, degrees, and combinations of disability. These guidelines also make Web content more usable by older individuals with changing abilities due to aging and often improve usability for users in general.

@Nick Farano: Thanks for sharing this--making our pages accessible is definitely a priority for our company. We're keeping these standards in mind as we build new products, and will make a concentrated effort to update existing pages/products to meet these standards where there are gaps.

@Matt Connelly: Thank you! We serve the visually impaired and right now with our new website, we are unable to use Give Lively on our new website because of it due to it not being WCAG compliant. But we love Give Lively!

@Nick Farano: Would love to sync up on a call some time if you're free to discuss improvements we can make--feel free email me at matt@givelively.org if you're available!
