Hello group. Has anyone ever used this service from knowability.org for accessibility testing? They have a database of users with disabilities who use assistive devices and will test your site with their devices:

Any recommendations for other services have you used for accessibility testing?Thanks

Barb Iannucci replied to Eloine Chapman's discussion Should we migrate to https?"Yep, I got the same messages.

Eloine Chapman posted a discussionShould we migrate to https?

Since on most of our pages there is nothing that would require secure information I've never felt the need for HTTPS. Our class registration pages are secure but not the general information pages. The warning is going to scare people though. Are others upgrading their websites?See More
