No one can know about your event unless you promote and communicate about it. Have you thought about how your communications and registration process is accessible?
The communications and process being accessible comes with many questions.
Website
- Is the website Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 compliance?
- Is there an accessibility button on the website to provide more options for people to access the website?
Social Media
- Can everyone access the information in a post?
- Is there an image description?
- Are there captions in a video with contrast?
- Is the important information in the caption or is it all in image?
- Does the platform have accessibility features?
Registration
- Do you have accessibility information listed with the event description?
- Do you have a contact person for more information on accessibility concerns?
- Is there a frequently asked question section to highlight accessibility concerns that are already thought of and resolved?
- Is there a space for requests of accommodations or questions and concerns with accessibility?
- Are there multiple options for registration in case of issues with access to platform or access to technology?
The questions are meant to guide external communications, consider platform features and limitations as part of the process and provide transparency and desire to provide an accessible experience to start engaging with your event and activity.
