    • Understand why you are developing a tool
    • Learn the process behind website development, using a specific example, from research to testing to deployment

    Presenter


    Anna Roth, Hiking Guide Manager, Washington Trails Association
    Seattle, Washington

    Anna manages Washington Trails Association's online hiking guide, a database of nearly 4000 hikes in Washington state. With trails ranging from short, flat half-milers in town to remote routes hundreds of miles long, the hiking guide has something for hikers of all types. The information on wta.org is provided for free in support of WTA's mission to making hiking accessible to everyone. Her most recent project in pursuit of this goal is the addition of a wheelchair-friendly filter in the hiking guide, to help wheelchair hikers find hikes they can do.
