Palmetto Creek Website: Accessibility Statement
The Palmetto Creek Website is a volunteer-led initiative. We believe that our community is at its best when every neighbor—regardless of ability—can participate. We are committed to making our digital home as accessible and user-friendly as possible.
Our Commitment
We strive to ensure that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. Our goal is to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. We have worked to incorporate features such as:
-
Alt-Text: Providing descriptive text for images where possible.
-
Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring the site can be navigated without a mouse.
-
Contrast and Readability: Choosing colors and fonts that are easy on the eyes.
A Note on Our Volunteer Status
As an independently managed and funded group, we do not have a dedicated full-time technical staff. While we aim for high standards, some parts of the site may still present challenges.
-
Third-Party Content: We occasionally use third-party tools (like embedded maps or social media feeds) that we do not have full control over. These may not always meet the same accessibility standards as our core site.
-
Ongoing Improvements: We view accessibility as an ongoing project rather than a "one and done" task. We are constantly learning and updating the site as our volunteer hours allow.
