About the Web Standards clinics
The clinics are held fortnightly for 2 hours on a ‘drop-in’ basis (no reservation is needed).
You can ask about:
- web accessibility, and
- how to implement the New Zealand Government Web Standards.
Bring your questions and challenges, general or specific, to receive advice and guidance in a supportive, informal group setting. The emphasis is on best practice and practical solutions.
The clinics are for anyone delivering digital services — public or private sector.
We hope you can join us!
