The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) improved the accessibility of its Event Details Page to ensure a more inclusive experience for users with disabilities, especially those relying on screen readers and keyboard navigation. The original design posed several challenges, including missing image descriptions, unlabeled form fields, low color contrast, and limited support for assistive technologies, which hindered usability for visually impaired users.
To address these issues, 3ie conducted an accessibility audit using tools like WAVE and Axe, leading to key enhancements such as adding alt text to images, labeling form fields, improving color contrast, and integrating ARIA attributes. These changes brought the page into compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA standards. As a result, the page became significantly more user-friendly and inclusive, enabling users like Veena to navigate and register independently, while reinforcing 3ie’s commitment to digital accessibility and equal access for all.
