VIEDA, VIUCEDD to host webinar on accessible web design for your business

    
CHARLOTTE AMALIE, U.S. Virgin Islands – May 24, 2022 -- The Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority (VIEDA), in partnership with the Virgin Islands University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities and disability advocacy partners, will host a webinar entitled, "Accessible Web Design and Your Business," on Wednesday, May 25, 2022 from 11:30AM-12:30PM.

Web accessible sites are developed so that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate and interact with the web page. Join us to hear our panelists present and discuss accessible web design, and how your online marketing can reach a wider audience. Presenters include Jose Negron, VIUCEDD’s IT specialist, who will introduce web-based design identifiers, digital documentation, and related accessibility features, and Mr. Gerard Evelyn, from Senator Whittaker’s office, who will share how he personally accesses and benefits from web-based design features, as an end-user who is blind.
