March 2006 Upcoming Seminars and Events   Greetings! We have several upcoming seminars and events that we thought you might be interested in knowing about. In addition, we thought we'd briefly tell you about some work we have been doing with Special Transit, a non-profit agency in Boulder that provides mobility options in the community. Accessibility Base Camp: Part One, Web Accessibility     Need to know how to incorporate accessibility into your Web design? In the first of our three part accessibility seminars, we'll review web accessibility, the regulations around web accessibility, and how to develop accessible websites. We'll start by teaching basics of accessibility, and then move into specifics of how to design accessibility into your products and website. We'll discuss where to prioritize efforts and how to write up a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template. This half day seminar will be filled with useful information, interesting and informative activities to get you comfortable with web accessibility issues. Part Two of this 3 part series will focus on Software Accessibility while the final Part Three seminar will focus on Product Accessibility. Details!

Special Transit is a non-profit agency in Boulder that provides a variety of transportation options that improve the quality of life for the people in the many communities they serve. Since they serve a disabled population, they really wanted to have an accessible new website. They also wanted to add additional functionality to improve the usefulness of their website to their various clients and donors. We took on the project and have added in some usability testing with some of their elderly and disabled users. The site is getting close to completion and it's looking great. So keep your eyes out for those changes and watch for all those Special Transit buses in town!   Contact Information email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 303.449.5020 web: http://www.quintusdesign.com               Could you email this out to the HSA list?
