1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

Women's Empowerment Development, Inc. (WED, Inc.) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, regardless of ability or technology. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive and accessible online experience that allows everyone to easily access information about our mission, programs, and events. Our goal is to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

2. How We Are Making Our Site Accessible

Our website is built on Google Sites, a platform that provides a strong foundation for accessibility. The platform inherently supports responsive and mobile-friendly design, which is a significant accessibility advantage.

In the design and development of our website, we have focused on the following:

• Structure and Navigation: We have used clear and intuitive navigation to make it easy for users to find program details, event information, and ways to get involved. The site's structure uses a clear hierarchy of headings and text styles to help screen readers and other assistive technologies interpret the content logically.

• Readability: Our typography uses Merriweather Sans and Open Sans, which are chosen for their readability and legibility. We use high-contrast color combinations, adhering to our brand guidelines, to ensure text is easy to read against backgrounds.

• Alternative Text for Images: We have made it a priority to add descriptive alt text to all images on the site. This is crucial for users who rely on screen readers to understand the visual content of a page.

• Responsive Design: Our site is designed to be responsive and work optimally on all devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones, ensuring a consistent user experience regardless of the device used.
