In Natick, A More Accessible Town Website
A website upgrade for Natick came with a new "visual toolkit" and a language translation tool, making it easier to use for more people.
NATICK, MA — The purpose of a town website is often to share the nuts and bolts of community and governmental happenings. But what happens when that website doesn't reach the entire community?
In Natick, a recent website upgrade attempted to fix that problem, adding accessibility upgrades and language translation options.
Town staff has enabled a "visual toolkit" that is "aimed at ensuring access for a wide set of populations (find the icon at the lower right across all web pages). The tool's features include the ability to adjust: text size, color contrast, cursor styling, spacing, & more."
