ADA Website Compliance Notice

Policy Statement
The Town of McClellanville is committed to ensuring the Town website is accessible for all people regardless of ability or access method.  It is our goal that any new or updated website produced or sponsored by the Town of McClellanville will be accessible and conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative’s (WAI) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level A.  Conformance with higher level guidelines (e.g. WCAG 2.0, level AA) is encouraged.

To affirm our commitment, any violations that we find or that are brought to our attention will be corrected to the best of our ability. 

Upon request, all information contained on City websites can be made available in an alternative format, or arrangements can be made by Town staff to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities.

Purpose
Our goal is to ensure that everyone has equal access to information and can fully participate in government.  We are committed to upholding our legal obligations to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) web accessibility directives.

Accessibility Features
The Town of McClellanville website makes use of industry-standard techniques and preferred practices to provide the highest possible level of ADA website accessibility for our users.  These include, but are not limited to, the characteristics of usability for screen reader users, keyboard-only users, users with low/impaired vision, users who are deaf and users who are color blind.

Accessibility Challenges 

• The Town of McClellanville is committed to assessing, prioritizing, and updating the Town website wherever it is determined to be non-ADA compliant.
• Some of our content is in PDF format only. We are working on a process to ensure all PDFs are accessible.
• Due to current technology constraints, there are some instances where we are unable to provide information in an accessible format (e.g. mapping information). We will be monitoring these sections and will develop accessible solutions as technology improves.
