They will assist you in setting up your Contribute account and populating it with accessible templates as well as provide pathways to training resources available on campus.
The University is providing 508 compliant web page templates to assist in the creation of web pages whose content can be accessed by all users.
By using these Dreamweaver created templates in conjunction with Contribute, faculty and staff can engage in accessible web development. Applicable 508 requirements have been built into the template structure.
IT IS THE USERS RESPONSIBILITY TO PLACE 508 COMPLIANT CONTENT INTO THE TEMPLATE FORMS.

Adobe Contribute can be utilized to modify the contents of the templates either as a standalone application or through an access "key" provided by your local web administrator.
