At WSN, we recognize the importance of ensuring that our digital content and services are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. We are committed to providing an inclusive web experience that empowers all users, including those with disabilities, to access and benefit from our website fully.
We understand that accessibility is not a one-time task but an ongoing responsibility. To uphold our commitment, we adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and actively work to ensure our website meets or exceeds these standards. Our accessibility efforts include designing for various disabilities that affect access to the web, such as visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
Our dedication to accessibility is not only a reflection of our values but also a legal and ethical obligation. We regularly review our website and its content to ensure that all users have a seamless and barrier-free experience. We also engage with our users, gathering feedback to continuously improve accessibility and usability.
We pledge to advocate for and implement accessible practices in every aspect of our web presence. By doing so, we aim to ensure that everyone can access and use our website effectively, thereby promoting inclusivity and respect for the diversity of our users.
This statement reaffirms our commitment to making web accessibility a core consideration in our operations and an integral part of our mission to serve all members of our community equally.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are crucial because they provide a set of recommendations designed to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. These guidelines help ensure that everyone can access and use web content, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities. By following WCAG, website creators can build sites that are more inclusive, reaching a wider audience and complying with legal standards that promote accessibility.
WCAG compliance is organized into three levels: A, AA, and AAA. Each level represents a greater degree of accessibility:
Level A: This is the most basic level of accessibility. Meeting Level A compliance means addressing the most urgent barriers for disabled users. Examples include providing text alternatives for non-text content (like images) and ensuring that all functionalities are accessible from a keyboard.
Level AA: This level includes all Level A requirements and addresses problems that could significantly hinder access to content. Level AA is generally regarded as the standard for most websites and includes guidelines such as making text readable and understandable, providing navigable headings and labels, and ensuring that users can see and hear content including separation of foreground from background.
Level AAA: This is the highest and most stringent level of accessibility. Meeting Level AAA criteria involves enhancing access to web content for more types of disabilities and providing the best possible user experience for all users. This level includes more detailed criteria like offering a range of presentation options and more precise control over audiovisual content.
In summary, these levels help web developers and content creators prioritize and implement accessibility features, making the web more inclusive and accessible to as many people as possible.
WSN website is making ongoing efforts to become WCAG 2.1 AAA. level compliant (highest) - and any feedback and commentary on the accessibility of our website is welcome as we continuously try to improve.
