​ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Our Accessibility Efforts

We are actively working to improve the accessibility of our website and aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Our efforts include:

• Providing text alternatives for non-text content: We endeavor to ensure that all images and other non-text elements have descriptive alt text so that they can be understood by screen readers and other assistive technologies.

• Ensuring sufficient color contrast: We aim to maintain adequate color contrast between text and background elements to make content easier to read for users with low vision.

• Using clear and consistent navigation: We are working to improve the clarity and consistency of our website navigation to make it easier for all users to find the information they need.

• Structuring content logically: We strive to use headings, lists, and other structural elements appropriately to help users navigate and understand the content.

• Making website functionality operable through a keyboard: We are working to ensure that all essential website functions can be accessed using only a keyboard.

Known Accessibility Limitations

We recognize that some areas of our website may not yet be fully accessible. Based on our current understanding, potential accessibility limitations may include:

• Older Design Elements: Due to the age of some parts of the website, certain design elements and layouts may not be fully optimized for assistive technologies.

• Non-Responsive Design: The website is not currently fully responsive, which may create difficulties for users accessing the site on smaller screens or with screen magnification.

• Potential Issues with Older Interactive Elements: Features like the guestbook and forum, being older implementations, may have accessibility limitations that we are working to address.

• Lack of Comprehensive Schema Markup: The absence of extensive schema markup may limit the ability of assistive technologies to fully understand the context of the content.

• Image Optimization: While we aim to provide alt text, there may be instances where image descriptions could be more detailed or informative.

Ongoing Efforts

We are committed to continuous improvement and are actively exploring solutions to address the known accessibility limitations. Our ongoing efforts include:

• Evaluating and updating our website design and structure to improve responsiveness and overall accessibility.

• Reviewing and enhancing the accessibility of interactive elements.

• Implementing relevant schema markup to improve content understanding for assistive technologies.

• Regularly reviewing and updating alt text for images and other non-text content.

• Considering user feedback to identify and address accessibility barriers.
