About this task
What you'll do
This is a desktop task — accessibility checks like keyboard navigation and 200% zoom need a real keyboard and screen.
- Pick any page worth auditing — your city or county site, a state agency, a public library or transit agency, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, a community clinic, or any other public-facing site that residents in your area rely on.
- Browse to it inside the embedded browser, then lock it as your anchor. You can explore the whole site freely; the page you're rating stays pinned and one click away.
- Answer a short site-level check once, then a page-level rubric for the anchor: a few pass/fail accessibility items (each with a one-line how-to), four 1–5 ratings, and (optionally) three short questions — what you were trying to do, what got in the way, and one concrete fix.
- Submit. The server runs automated accessibility checks (axe-core) on the same page to corroborate your findings.
- When you're done, you can audit another URL — each audit adds another row of public usability data.
What you get out of it
Your audit joins a free public dataset of website usability findings — actionable feedback for the people who run these pages, and a public good. Your time is credited toward your SNAP work-requirement hours once the audit is reviewed.
