Accessible Site Content
The new site meets ADA, Sec 508, WCAG 2.1 AA standards by providing continuous testing, monitoring, and accessibility remediation. Digital content is more accessible to people with disabilities using Assistive Technologies to change things like color contrast, the size of the cursor, font, font size, and more.
Responsive Design
The new site continues our legacy of being mobile, tablet, and desktop friendly, but now leverages swiping, animation, and other design features to make the content more user-friendly on a variety of screen sizes.
Security Enhancements
The new site utilizes a headless CMS and was built with React to deliver secure static pages that results in high performing page delivery on a fully scalable cloud hosting solution, while being optimized for SEO. Users can access the news anytime with their registered email address using real-time email authentication. This authentication will only need to be repeated if users are inactive for 30 days in a row, logging in from an alternate device, or returning after logging out of their profile.
