Accessibility testing for onrr.gov

> Before launching the newly redesigned onrr.gov, we wanted to make sure this website was as accessible as possible for all users.  We previously chronicled our efforts to make all documents on onrr.gov accessible, and developed next steps for 508 compliance within ONRR.  Part of these next steps was to extend accessibility beyond linked documents to the entire website...

Subject: [508] New accessibility blog post!

Hello,

The newly redesigned onrr.gov is now live!

We published a new blog post outlining our accessibility testing on the new onrr.gov:  https://blog-nrrd.doi.gov/four-part-hybrid-testing/ 

The blog post focuses on testing the new website prior to launch. We incorporated WCAG and Section 508 requirements "from the ground up" during the design process.

Ensuring that our websites are accessible is an ongoing and iterative process for us, and we're happy to share these first steps.

Thanks,

Christine Thomas
