Hashem’s House
A Central Texas synagogue needed a site rebuilt. The rabbi wanted to blog and update the site herself. She applied to have the site built as part of the Accessible Internet Rally (AIR) competition 2012. This competition is sponsored by Knowbility (http://www.knowbility.org/v/open-air/ ). It pairs not-for-profit organizations with developers to build their sites so they can be read by people with disabilities. Net Ingenuity joined the “EZXS_ibility” team and we won an award in the regional competition (third place in the ADVANCED category). Winners were announced at the AIR International/Dewey Winburne Awards Ceremony on March 11, as part of SXSW Interactive 2013 and the Rabbi remains a client today. The site is optimized for people with color blindness including video (with captioning for the deaf) and audio files (with transcripts) so that it can be thoroughly navigated by unsighted and mobility-impaired users.
