To "equalify" something is to fix it with an accessibility-first mindset. Accessibility-first means raising the bar of work to guarantee that people with disabilities can easily use tools and access content.
Equalify's handbook is modeled after Gitlab's handbook and contains comprehensive information about everything related to Equalify. By publishing our handbook publicly, we're fostering a culture of transparency and openness and ultimately contributing to a more accessible internet for all.
Equalify is a platform for managing website accessibility focused on improving conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). We offer a managed service at https://equalify.app/ and repositories in the EqualifyApp organization on GitHub for users to create their version of Equalify. Users who create their version are encouraged to contribute to our open-source codebase to work together to make the web more accessible to everyone.
Equalify is built around the belief that everyone should have access to internet tools and information. Our commitment to Open Source. All Equalify code is published under approved Open Source licenses. Open Source licenses ensure that our software remains free and open for everyone to use, study, and modify. By making our code publicly available, we hope to inspire others to join us in equalifying the internet.
Equalify is maintained by a team from the UIC IT Accessibility Engineering page and Equalify Inc.
We also accept partnerships with other institutions. See Partner.md for more information.
