Digital Accessibility Policy

Celestial Prerogative News is dedicated to ensuring that our digital content is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. Our commitment to accessibility aligns with our mission to provide the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) community and broader audience with inclusive, barrier-free access to faith-based news and information.

1. Our Accessibility Goals

• Inclusive Access: We aim to provide a seamless experience for users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies.
• Compliance with Standards: Our website strives to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines provide a global standard for digital accessibility.
• Continuous Improvement: Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are committed to continuously enhancing our website’s accessibility features.

2. Accessible Features

Our digital accessibility practices include, but are not limited to:

• Text Alternatives: We provide alternative text for images and non-text content to assist users who rely on screen readers.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is navigable using only a keyboard, allowing users with limited motor skills to access all content and functionalities.
• Clear Structure and Design: We maintain a consistent, organized layout with clear headings, labels, and simple navigation for ease of use.
• Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds to support users with visual impairments.
• Resizable Text: Text on our website can be resized without loss of content or functionality to accommodate users with low vision.
• Closed Captioning and Transcripts: Video content, where applicable, includes closed captions or transcripts to assist users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

3. Testing and Feedback

• Regular Testing: We conduct regular accessibility audits using tools and user feedback to identify and address any issues that may arise.
• Assistive Technology Testing: Our website is tested for compatibility with common assistive technologies, such as screen readers (e.g., JAWS, NVDA) and voice recognition software.
• User Feedback: We value feedback from our users and encourage you to reach out if you encounter any accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement.

4. Training and Accountability

• Team Training: Our team members receive training on accessibility best practices and are encouraged to incorporate these standards into their daily work.
• Accountability: We assign specific roles and responsibilities within our team to ensure that accessibility remains a core consideration in our website design, content creation, and development.

5. Limitations and Exceptions

While we strive to make all content fully accessible, some third-party content or plugins may not fully comply with our accessibility standards. In such cases, we aim to provide accessible alternatives whenever possible or work with third-party providers to resolve issues.
