Project Summary
The primary objective for this project is to take the CEI-AZ.com website to its launch phase as soon as possible through a development ‘sprint’. This sprint will utilize a vast framework of pre-prepared, accessible templates to rebuild the layout of the site with clean-code and semantic markup.
Prior to this proposal, MdO Media has tested and implemented these tools on several projects, including our own new website. Specifically, these tools are the Bricks Builder, Automatic CSS Framework and ‘Frames’ templates. The licensing cost of these tools has been factored into the
The secondary objective of the website build is meeting or exceeding ADA Section 508 Compliance. Through an audit completed by MdO Media and additionaly recommended third party audit, the intent of this project is to reach a certified rating of ‘AA’ under the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines v2.1. This process is further detailed in this document.
By rebuilding the website to meet these standards and having the site WCAG certified, Consultant Engineering Inc’s website will feature an Accessibility Statement detailing all the efforts made to be ADA Section 508 Compliant. The new website will also proudly stand on an industry-leading, scalable framework that should last well into the decade. There are also substantial website performance improvements anticipated as well.
The target completion time for Project:
Four weeks from approval, pending content procurement.
