Accessibility Statement
Dam Defenders is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.
Our Commitment
Dam Defenders is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to make our website as inclusive as possible.
Conformance Status
Dam Defenders aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Our website is currently partially conformant with this standard, meaning that some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is a set of guidelines published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that explains how to make web content more accessible to people with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor disabilities.
Measures We Have Taken
To support our commitment to accessibility, we have implemented the following ongoing measures:
- Including accessibility in our design and development process from the outset of every project.
- Assigning clear accessibility goals and responsibilities to team members across design, development, and content roles.
- Providing accessibility training to our staff so they understand how to create and maintain accessible digital content.
- Conducting periodic automated and manual testing, including testing with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.
- Reviewing third-party tools and integrations for accessibility before adding them to our website.
Technical Specifications
Accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies and standards to work with the various assistive technologies used by people with disabilities:
- HTML (HyperText Markup Language) for semantic structure and content organization.
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for visual presentation and responsive layout.
- JavaScript for interactive functionality and dynamic content.
- WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications) for enhanced compatibility with assistive technologies.
The site is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers and commonly used assistive technologies, including screen readers and screen magnifiers.
