Areas for Improvement and Timelines
I am aware of some areas on the website where I could improve accessibility. I am currently working to achieve this. I hope that this website will achieve Level AA conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 by December 31, 2023. Please see below for a table that documents my current areas for improvement, along with descriptions of the features I have added to remediate these problems.
