ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
This statement was last updated on 3/30/2025
We at West End Secondary School are working to make our site wesslibrarygala.org accessible to people with disabilities.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
Our Commitment
The WESS Library Gala is committed to making our website accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information, services, and opportunities, regardless of their abilities. We are continuously working to enhance the usability of our site and ensure it meets or exceeds accessibility standards.
We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which provide best practices for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies. Our goal is to create a seamless browsing experience for all users, regardless of their device, technology, or ability.
To achieve this, we will focus on:
- Screen Reader Compatibility: Our site is designed to work with screen readers and other assistive tools to help visually impaired users navigate and engage with content.
- Keyboard Navigation: We aim to ensure all website functions can be accessed without the use of a mouse, making it easier for users with mobility impairments to browse.
- Text and Readability: We use clear fonts, appropriate color contrast, and logical formatting to improve readability for users with visual impairments or cognitive disabilities.
- Alternative Text for Media: All images and multimedia content include descriptive alternative text to provide context for users who rely on screen readers.
- Forms and Interactive Elements: We work to ensure that all online forms, buttons, and links are accessible and easy to use with assistive technology.
