Web Accessibility Statement
Our Commitment
AccessibleWebsiteTraining.com is committed to making its website, including its blog and online course platform WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliant.
Teaching WCAG guidelines and success criteria in our web courses we understand that we need to lead by example and it is very important to us to ensure that our website is accessible to all users no matter their ability or disability.
We continuously work on enhancing our online learning platform in order to become completely accessible to all users. Our goal is to conform to all WCAG 2.1 guidelines and success criteria as published by the W3C.
Closed Captions for our Training Videos
We are working on adding closed captions to all our training videos. This is part of an ongoing effort to make our videos accessible to people with hearing loss.
Assistive Technologies
We use coding best practices to make sure our website is built to work with all assistive technologies.
Assistive technology refers to tools used by individuals with disabilities to perform tasks. To ensure the following applications work effectively, it is necessary to create content with the accessibility features required by WCAG. The tools listed below help individuals access the internet using computers.
- Screen readers: These are software programs used by individuals who are visually impaired or blind. They read the content of the computer screen aloud. Examples of such software include JAWS for Windows, NVDA, or Voiceover for Mac.
- Screen magnification software: This software allows users to adjust the size of text and/or graphics on the screen.
- Text readers: This software reads text aloud using a synthesized voice and may highlight the words being spoken. It is used by individuals with learning disabilities, eye fatigue, or other conditions that affect their ability to read text. Please note that text readers do not read menus or buttons, only the text.
- Speech input software: This software provides an alternative way to type text and control the computer. Users can give the system commands to perform mouse actions, such as clicking on a link or using a menu item. An example of such software is Dragon Naturally Speaking.
- Alternative input devices: Some users may not be able to use a mouse or keyboard to access computers. Instead, they may use:
- Head pointers: A stick or object mounted directly on the user’s head that can be used to push keys on the keyboard. This device is used by individuals who have no use of their hands.
- Motion tracking or eye tracking: This includes devices that track the target or the user's eyes to interpret where the user wants to place the mouse pointer and moves it for the user.
- Single switch entry devices: These devices can be used with other alternative input devices or by themselves. They are typically used with on-screen keyboards. The on-screen keyboard has a cursor that moves across the keys. When the key the user wants is in focus, the user can click the switch. This can also work on a webpage. The cursor can move through the webpage, and if the user wants to click on a link or button when that link or button is in focus, the user can activate the switch.
Screen Readers
Based on our testing we recommend the following browser and screen reader combinations:
- - Microsoft® Windows® Google® Chrome® - use JAWS
- - Microsoft® Windows® Mozilla® Firefox® and Google® Chrome® - use NVDA
- - Apple® iOS Safari® - use built in VoiceOver Feature
- - Android® Chrome® - use Android Accessibility Suite
