Our Commitment to Accessibility
The Southwest Wine Center at Yavapai College is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as well as applicable federal and state accessibility laws, including Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Conformance Status
We are actively working toward full conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Some areas of the website may not yet fully conform, and we are committed to addressing known gaps as part of our ongoing improvement efforts.
Technical Specifications
This website relies on the following technologies for conformance with WCAG 2.1:
- HTML5
- CSS3
- JavaScript
- WordPress (CMS platform)
The website has been tested using modern browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari, as well as common screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some content may present challenges. Known limitations include:
- Some older PDF documents and downloadable files may not be fully accessible. We are working to remediate or replace these files.
- Embedded third-party content, such as social media feeds (Instagram) and review widgets (Trustindex), may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We encourage users who experience difficulty to contact us for an accessible alternative.
- Certain event calendar entries and images may have incomplete alternative text. We are reviewing and updating these on an ongoing basis.
- Embedded video content may not include captions or audio descriptions for all recordings. New video content will include these features going forward.
