ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

We are working to make our site accessile to people with disabilites.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means that while some parts of the content may not fully conform to the accessibility standard, we have implemented extensive accessibility measures that go well beyond the minimum Level A requirements. 

Technical Specifications

Accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:
 

  • HTML

  • CSS

  • JavaScript

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Development and Design

This website was developed and designed by Ready Sites, a web development company committed to creating accessible web experiences. Ready Sites has implemented accessibility features and conducted testing to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards.

Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of this website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below. Known limitations for this website include:

Third-party content including plugins, iframes, and other hosted or embedded content

We cannot guarantee that all third-party content integrated into our website is fully accessible, because these components are developed by external providers and we have limited control over their accessibility features and compliance with WCAG standards. Ready Sites is committed to selecting third-party solutions that prioritize accessibility whenever possible and working with vendors to improve accessibility of their products.

 

If you encounter accessibility barriers with any third-party content on this website, please contact us using our feedback form at the bottom of the page. We'll work to provide alternative accessible solutions or assist you in accessing the information you need.

Content visibility at 200% magnification

While we've designed our site to be readable at various zoom levels, we cannot guarantee that all content remains fully visible and functional when magnified to 200% because complex layouts and certain interactive elements may not respond optimally to high magnification levels. If you encounter specific areas that are difficult to access when magnified, please contact Ready Sites with technical details, and/or contact us for alternative formats or personalized assistance for accessing problematic content.

Screen resolution optimization

Our website is optimized for the following screen resolutions:

  • Recommended Desktop Resolution: 1920x1080

  • Recommended Laptop Resolution: 1280x720

  • Recommended Tablet Resolution: 1536 x 2048

  • Recommended Mobile Resolution: 2400 x 1080

Users with screen resolutions outside of these ranges may experience display or navigation issues including content overlapping, buttons that are not clickable, or other layout and formatting problems. Ready Sites is working to improve our responsive design to accommodate a wider range of screen resolutions. If you encounter display issues due to your screen resolution, please contact Ready Sites with details about your device and screen resolution for technical assistance, and contact us for alternative ways to access the content you need.

Testing with assistive technologies and diverse user environments

Our site has not been comprehensively tested with all assistive technologies or in every possible user environment, because the range of assistive technologies, browser combinations, and device configurations is extensive, making exhaustive testing challenging for development resources. Ready Sites is working to expand testing protocols and welcomes user feedback to identify accessibility barriers we may have missed. This feedback helps them prioritize improvements. We encourage users who encounter accessibility barriers to contact Ready Sites with specific details about the issue, including the assistive technology used, your browser type, device type, and any actions taken.
