Our Commitment
The Town of Littleton is dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.
Our ongoing accessibility efforts include ensuring keyboard navigation throughout the site, compatibility with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, sufficient color contrast ratios for all text and interactive elements, and descriptive alternative text for all meaningful images. We regularly review and test our website to identify and address any accessibility barriers.
Accessibility Standards
WCAG 2.1 Level AA
We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 Level AA standards, which address the major barriers that affect users with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
Keyboard Accessible
All functionality on our website is available using only a keyboard. Users can navigate through links, buttons, and form fields using Tab, Enter, and arrow keys without requiring a mouse.
Screen Reader Compatible
Our website has been tested with common screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. We use proper heading structure, ARIA labels, and semantic HTML to ensure content is announced correctly.
Known Limitations
While we strive to ensure accessibility across all pages, some older PDF documents on our website may not be fully accessible to screen readers. These documents were created before our current accessibility standards were implemented.
We are committed to remediating these documents upon request. If you need an accessible version of any document, please contact us and we will provide an alternative format within a reasonable timeframe.
Additionally, some third-party content embedded on our site, such as external maps or social media feeds, may not meet our accessibility standards. We work with our vendors to encourage accessibility improvements and provide alternative ways to access this information when possible.
