Case Study: Creating Accessible Content for Lullabot's Iowa.gov Digital Transformation Project
Kat Shaw
Since Iowa.gov has chosen Lullabot for their large web project, digital accessibility has been at the forefront in all aspects of this project. Lullabot handles internal accessibility through their Design, Strategy, Development, and QA process, but the last external process of Content Entry must not be missed.
Iowa.gov and Lullabot have worked together to leverage several Drupal 9+ accessibility features and tools to aid in more accessible content entry. They include:
* Structured and semantic content
* Required and meaningful alt text for images
* Limits to rich text editor (headings, no underlines, HTML tags, etc.)
* Embedded content (iframes, remote videos, remote audio, etc.)
* SVG image markup
* JS announcements for alerts
* and more...
