This document is Appendix M from a city contract, focusing on web accessibility and development standards. The city aims to ensure its websites and applications are accessible to people with various disabilities, including blindness, deafness, learning disabilities, and others. To achieve this goal, the city adheres to two primary standards: Section 508 (which requires federal agencies to provide technology access for people with disabilities) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

The document outlines specific technical requirements for web development, emphasizing user experience (UX) and technical implementation. It specifies preferred web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with recommended frameworks like Bootstrap and Angular. The city prioritizes understanding user needs, abilities, and limitations while also considering business objectives. Key technical guidelines include maintaining separate documents for CSS and JavaScript, using external resources, and focusing on components like User Interface Design, Content & Language, and User Interaction to create inclusive and functional web experiences.

Appendix M - Web Accessibility and Development

Web Accessibility

The City makes every possible effort to make sure its websites and applications are accessible to everyone. Our goal is to make content accessible to a wide range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these.

We adhere to two standards, Section 508, and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2)., to ensure these requirements are met.

Section 508: https://www.section508.gov/

Section 508 requires Federal departments and agencies that develop, procure, maintain, or use Information and Communication Technology to assure that these technologies provide access to information and data for people with disabilities.

WCAG 2.0: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/

Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) 2.0 covers a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible.

Web Development & User Experience

The City focuses on the user experience of its users and strives to achieve solutions which serve their needs. We utilize industry standards to ensure that all users can achieve their desired goal.

User Experience (UX)

UX focuses on having a deep understanding of users, what they need, what they value, their abilities, and their limitations. It also considers the business goals and objectives of the group managing the project. UX best practices promote improving the quality of the user’s interaction with and perceptions of your product and any related services. User Interface Design, Content & Language, and User Interaction are among several components that should be accounted for.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

HTML is the language for describing the content of web pages, including heading, lists, and images. It should not include Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript but should instead reference external resources. Version: HTML5

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) CSS is the language for describing the presentation of web pages, including colors, layout, and fonts. CSS should be used to control the layout and overall style of any websites and web applications. CSS should be maintained in a separate document if possible. Version: CSS3.

Frameworks: “Bootstrap”

“JavaScript”

JavaScript is a scripting language of web pages and is used to dynamically control elements.

JavaScript should be maintained in a separate document if possible. Frameworks: Angular.

Libraries: JQuery
