Jennifer Lawler is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following tools are used for testing and developing our website to improve its accessibility:

• Accessibility Checker Plugin by Equalize Digital
• Wave Web Accessibility Tool
• Accessibility Insights for the Web
• Tota11y Accessibility Visualization Toolkit
• Accessible Colors
• Accessible Color Matrix
• Eight Shapes

Our site was designed with the following features and functionality for accessibility:

• Our site is mobile responsive with large buttons making it easy to touch on a small screen.
• Our Brand colors have been modified for optimal color contrast to meet AA requirements for text.
• Our pages are designed with skip navigation links allowing a user to skip directly to the content on a page. The page is also designed to be easily navigated using a keyboard.
• All non-decorative images have appropriate alternative text associated with them.
• The content has been designed using structured headings, lists, and buttons making it organized and easy to understand and navigate for all users.
• Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) text is included when links, buttons, and media require additional context to understand.
• A warning is provided before links open in a new tab.

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience on Jennifer Lawler’s website a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites to which we may link.
