web content accessibility guidelines javascript (programming language) visual impairment education wordpressThe main goal for the project is to create a website for the new Semantigram project, aimed primarily at the visually impaired. The website must have two high contrast styles, be fully accessible and WCAG 2.0 AA compliant, and be written using a static site generator. Additionally, the site may not contain JavaScript, must function without external server access, and must be mobile-responsive. The website should also not use a CMS like Wordpress or Tailwag.
Tasks for learners to complete to achieve the project goal include:
- Designing and developing the website with two high contrast styles
- Ensuring full accessibility and WCAG 2.0 AA compliance
- Implementing the website using a static site generator
- Testing the website to ensure it functions without external server access and is mobile-responsive
Final deliverables should include:
- A fully functional website meeting all specified requirements
- Documentation of the website's design and development process
- Weekly meetings to work with students creating accessible websites (if they are not already familiar)
- Access to a large library of already existing static-site-generated accessible websites for reference
- Help debugging issues with static site generators

About the company
Bytetools was started because we've seen too many blind and visually-impaired students struggling with their post-secondary schooling in STEM subjects. Often, the institutions are not equipped to handle such cases since for most advanced subjects, you would need an expert in accessibility *and* mathematics or computer-science to be able to correctly transcribe the diagrams, math equations, charts and graphs. We are here to help fix that. Founded in 2019, Bytetools started out by focusing just on one student who was willing to work with us during our development phase. Now, we are ready to launch to the world, and hopefully make this one corner of the world a little bit better. Most tooling available for tactile diagrams is closed-source, proprietary software with expensive licenses. On the other hand, we are committed to make every single one of our tools open-source and free to use for anybody. If you are passionate about accessibility and open-source: we will be a perfect match!
