Web Accessibility

The Web Support Team is commited to make the content of campus web pages to meeting and exceeding Federal Section 508 guidelines.

Inorder to meet these standards, we need the help of all content editors and campus web developers to ensure that they are doing their part in creating content and sites that meet these standards.

UW-Whitewater Web Accessibility Initiative: Our goal

We provide an array of resources, links, and tutorials designed to help individuals and organizations create and maintain accessible web content. Much of our content is drawn directly from the Web Accessibility for All program, from the Center on Education and Work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding our site, helping you with your site or with the information contained here. Also see our blog and FAQ's for answers to common problems.
