Designing, developing and maintaining accessible technology starts by understanding your role and responsibilities.

What We’re Doing to Improve Accessibility

The guides on this website are just part of a meaningful change in making state services inclusive and accessible. OIT is also committed to:

  • Designing accessibility policies, guidelines and strategies alongside partners with a diverse range of abilities and perspectives.
  • Aligning with executive branch agencies to provide training, support and resources for accessibility.
  • User-friendly, accessible guidelines to help state employees make web content accessible to users with sensory, cognitive and mobility disabilities and ultimately to all users, regardless of ability.
  • Improving procurement processes and supporting state employees with procurement guidelines, training and support.
  • Following WCAG 2.1 AA as our minimum standard of accessibility. WCAG 2.1 AA Guidelines, W3C
