Hi,

I am developing a mini-course "Web Accessibility: What
is This All About?", initially targeted to
decision makers of non-profits. The third ( and final ) lesson is
"<SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">How
can my organization implement a Web accessibility plan?" I have summarized
and massaged the process outlined in Chapter 11 of Constructing Accessible Web
Sites, and will use <A
href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/impl/Overview.html">http://www.w3.org/WAI/impl/Overview.html as
a recommended reading. However, my next section is regarding
non-profits that farm out their web development / maintenance to an external
source, ie a web design company, the pimpled face kid down the street or the
Executive Director's nephew looking for a class project. Remember,
non-profits generally have little or no money. How can such
organizations implement a Web accessibility plan when the site is done
externally? And when the individual negotiating the contract [assuming
there is one ] has no knowledge of HTML, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
1.0,etc etc etc? Can anyone here offer sample contract clauses and
such? Any suitable readings online? Looking forward to
hearing from someone here who can provide some suggestions.
Cheers,
