Donors’ Impact on Academic Programs

HACC Foundation Donors Funds HACC Website Updates to Increase Accessibility

HACC Foundation donors provided funding to increase accessibility for those using assistive technology when visiting the hacc.edu website:

• Left-hand navigation was displayed on all webpages with the exception of the home page and a few special marketing webpages.

• Nearly 1,000 accordion panels are displayed in the body of 36 webpages on the HACC Foundation website and 118 webpages on hacc.edu,


HACC was able to hire a content management system vendor, who added the ability to tab through the left-hand navigation and the ability to tab through the page accordions. This update is a game-changer for all website visitors using assistive technology to navigate through our website. Visitors can now use the spacebar to tab through and select specific accordions and links. #HACCyeah
