​
At Ayasanar, we believe that everyone should have equitable access to our community, and our services, both in person and online. We are committed to making our website, Ayasanar.org, accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. Our goal is to ensure that our online presence is welcoming, usable, and provides an inclusive experience for everyone.
​
Our Commitment to Accessibility
​
We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines. Our efforts are guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines provide a framework for making web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities.
We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
Measures We've Taken and Are Taking
​
To support our commitment to accessibility, we have taken or are taking the following measures:
-
Design and Development:
-
Perceivable: We strive for clear, legible text, appropriate color contrast, and provide alternative text for images and non-text content so that users can perceive information regardless of sensory abilities.
-
Operable: Our website aims to be navigable by keyboard, screen readers, and other assistive technologies. We work to ensure consistent navigation and clear focus indicators.
-
Understandable: We use clear, concise language, consistent layouts, and provide logical structures to make our content easy to understand for a broad audience.
-
Robust: We aim to ensure compatibility with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies.
-
-
Regular Audits: We conduct periodic accessibility reviews and audits of our website to identify and address potential barriers.
-
Feedback Integration: We welcome and encourage feedback from our users regarding accessibility concerns and are committed to incorporating this feedback into our ongoing improvements.
-
Training: Our team members involved in website content creation and management are provided with guidance on accessibility best practices.
-
Third-Party Content: While we strive for accessibility on our own content, we also encourage our third-party content providers (e.g., streaming services, online giving platforms) to provide accessible experiences. We will work to choose accessible third-party tools whenever possible.
