Accessibility
I want everyone who visits this site to be able to read it, move through it, and reach me, including people who use screen readers, keyboards, screen magnifiers, or other assistive technology.
Here is what that means on this site. The numbers in parentheses point to the matching WCAG guidelines.
Easy to see
- Every meaningful image has a text description that screen readers read aloud; decorative images are skipped. (1.1.1)
- Text and controls have enough contrast against their backgrounds to be readable. (1.4.3, 1.4.11)
- You can enlarge text to 200%, and every page fits a phone screen without scrolling sideways. (1.4.4, 1.4.10)
- Color is never the only way information is shown; links are underlined and required fields are marked in words. (1.4.1)
- The group flyer is also available as plain text. (1.4.5)
- Headings, lists and page regions are marked so assistive technology can follow the structure. (1.3.1)
Easy to use
- Everything works with a keyboard alone, and a “Skip to main content” link lets you jump past the menu. (2.1.1, 2.4.1)
- A clear outline shows where you are as you move through the page, and it is never hidden behind other content. (2.4.7, 2.4.11)
- The articles slideshow has a Pause button and stops on its own if your device is set to reduce motion. (2.2.2)
- Buttons and links are large enough to tap easily, and nothing requires dragging or special gestures. (2.5.7, 2.5.8)
- Nothing on the site flashes or has a time limit. (2.3.1, 2.2.1)
- Each page has a clear title, and the menu appears at both the top and bottom of every page. (2.4.2, 2.4.5)
Easy to understand
- Pages are written in plain language and set to English so screen readers pronounce them correctly. (3.1.1)
- Menus and contact information appear in the same place on every page. (3.2.3, 3.2.6)
- The contact form has clear labels, tells you which fields are required, and explains how to fix any mistake. (3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3)
- The form is one short step with no puzzles to solve; its security check runs quietly in the background. (3.3.7, 3.3.8)
Works with assistive technology
- The site is built with standard web code that screen readers, voice control and magnifiers understand. (4.1.2)
- The menu, pop-up windows and slideshow tell assistive technology what they are and whether they are open. (4.1.2)
- Messages from the contact form, such as “Sending” and the confirmation, are announced automatically. (4.1.3)
How this site was reviewed
Every page, the contact form, the pop-up windows and the slideshow were reviewed by hand against each WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA guideline, then checked with an automated accessibility scanner. Guidelines for audio and video do not apply, because the site has none.
