LSA WordPress Accessibility Initiative

We are excited to introduce the LSA WordPress Accessibility Initiative, a new effort designed to support editors, site managers, and the broader LSA community in creating websites that are more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for all users.

Why This Matters

Accessibility ensures that our websites can be used by people of all abilities. It is also required under U-M policy and federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations that apply to digital content. By improving navigation, readability, structure, and design, we enhance the experience for all users while meeting essential accessibility standards.
