Community Bible Church wants to provide the opportunity for everyone to access our website and learn not only about the church, but also its ministries, services, and events. We are continually working towards making the site compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 AA level (WCAG 2.2 AA) standard and strive, where possible, to aim for the AAA level. Efforts to date include:
Color Contrast
The color contrast of text to background and elements, such as buttons to backgrounds, are required to have a contrast of 4.5:1 to comply with the WCAG 2.2 AA level. All elements have at least this contrast throughout the webpage and in most cases is greater than 7:1 to comply with the WCAG 2.2 AAA guidelines. Where possible, efforts have been made to comply with the Accessibility Perceptual Contrast Algorithm (APCA) requirements.
Alternative Text
All images are described with alternative text, in order to provide a textual description for those users who are visually impaired.
Heading Structure
Skip links to main content, headings, and links are reachable by tabbing and “clicked” using “enter.” The entire website is reachable by directional controls.
Cookie Notice
The cookie notice was selected for and adjusted to be reachable by tabbing, so as to not create a keyboard trap. In a lot of websites, the cookie notice is not reachable the tab key, leading to a go “under” or “around” the cookie notice and creating an obstacle that stays on the site blocking the content underneath.
Elimination of Duplicate “More” Links
Another problem solved, in part, in the Community Bible Church website are the multiple “read more” button texts in the query loop. It is a WCAG requirement to not have duplicative link text in buttons or links. While, Joe Dolson, an expert in web accessibility, noted this problem years ago, it still exists in WordPress.
