Standards Compliance
The Oakhaven Historical Society is committed to ensuring that our website, The Oakhaven Anomaly, is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a globally recognized standard for web accessibility. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
Our efforts to achieve and maintain accessibility are ongoing. We regularly review our website and its content to identify areas for improvement and implement necessary changes. We use a combination of automated and manual testing methods to ensure that our website meets the WCAG 2.1 AA standards. This includes using accessibility checkers, conducting user testing with individuals with disabilities, and providing accessibility training to our content creators and developers.
We believe that accessibility is not just a legal requirement but a fundamental right. By providing an accessible website, we aim to ensure that everyone can learn about the fascinating archaeological find in Oakhaven, Pennsylvania, and the potential pre-colonial settlement it reveals. We are dedicated to creating a digital environment that is inclusive and welcoming to all visitors.
Assistive Technologies
Our website is designed to be compatible with a wide range of assistive technologies, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech recognition software, and alternative input devices. We have taken steps to ensure that our content is structured in a way that makes it easy for assistive technologies to interpret and present it to users.
Specifically, we have implemented the following accessibility features:
- Alternative text for images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the meaning and purpose of the image to users who cannot see it.
- Keyboard navigation: Our website can be navigated entirely using a keyboard, without the need for a mouse or other pointing device.
- Clear and consistent headings: We use headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to structure our content in a logical and consistent manner, making it easier for users to understand the organization of the information.
- Sufficient color contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
- Resizable text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing any content or functionality.
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements (e.g., <article>, <nav>, <aside>) to structure our content in a way that is meaningful to assistive technologies.
- ARIA attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information about the structure and functionality of our website to assistive technologies.
We are committed to continually improving the accessibility of our website and ensuring that it remains compatible with the latest assistive technologies.
