Seeking website design nominations

The Universal Design and Accessibility Committee (UDAC) at CU-Boulder is seeking nominations for best website design among the University of Colorado campuses. The criteria are usability, universal design and accessibility, along with other features such as adherence to web standards.

UDAC is a subcommittee of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Program Access and seeks to educate the CU-Boulder campus on the benefits of universal design – design accessible to all people without the need for adaptation or specialization – in the area of electronic communications and information technology. The committee promotes the development and maintenance of academic and administrative systems that are effective, usable and accessible to all users. UDAC also informs and advises the administration when existing systems or planned systems do not meet standards and/or laws for usability and accessibility.

If you would like to nominate a website or Web page for the competition, either your own or another CU site, please use the form to submit the nomination by Friday, Feb. 17. Winners and prizes will be announced at the end of March.
