Website Accessibility
The Milton Artists' Guild is committed to ensuring that our digital presence is accessible and inclusive for everyone in our community, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that art and community participation should be universally accessible, and we are continually working to improve user experience for all visitors.
Our goal is to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines, recognized globally and by the State of Vermont, explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, focusing on four key principles:
-
Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable in ways all users can perceive (e.g., providing text alternatives for digital artwork and gallery photos).
-
Operable: User interface and navigation must be operable (e.g., ensuring full keyboard accessibility).
-
Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
-
Robust: Content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
