How these two organizations are working together to tackle barriers to website accessibility
Craft & Crew is an Ottawa-based website production company that has partnered with CNIB Frontier Accessibility to examine the digital compliance and accessibility of organizations within Ontario .
The partnership came about when Craft & Crew received an influx of requests from businesses that were unsure how to make their digital assets accessible and comply with legislation . This sparked an exploratory conversation with CNIB — which transformed into a business partnership to address website accessibility . All proceeds from website accessibility audits conducted by the two organizations are directly reinvested into CNIB ’ s charitable programs for Canadians living with sight loss .
