Description
2 of 3 options for residents who want to start a community garden reach the website on the community gardens information page or community garden guide and click the link "Start the conversation"
As a prospective gardener, I want to sign up for a community garden so that I can get information for what the process is.
Building a pop-up (feature) that sends an automatic email upon submission will automate expressing interest in building a community garden and inform the resident of what the process entails.
The goal is to increase efficiency for the resident (prospective gardener) and documentation (for supportive city staff).
Alternative solutions considered include a "Sign-up for a community garden" form #2070 where users share their email address or phone number (for texts) or link directly to the guide Epic #2028.
Acceptance criteria
1. The pop-up follows accessibility guidelines
from: https://accessibility.psu.edu/popups/ and will sync with @chasechenevert
Synopsis
If you do open a new window or new tab (with either the TARGET attribute or a script), then add a label that the link will open a new window/tab. Many users (on both screen readers and visual browsers) are confused when they do not realize a new window is open and are unable to use the “Back” button.
Avoid disabling scroll bars and resizing options—readers with low vision may need to resize windows to accommodate larger text.
Accessify.com provides a tutorial on creating an accessible pop-up window. However, this method should be tested before it’s used on a Penn State Web site.
Provide a alternative that uses a plain link to direct users with JavaScript disabled to the appropriate information.
Provide both a regular link and a pop-up link when possible.
2. The pop-up window toggles translations fluidly
3. The pop-up window's content and form fields are clear:
"Sign up for a community garden"
