Accessibility Statement for Open Hand Outreach

Open Hand Outreach is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to guarantee our disaster relief resources and donation portals are available to all.

 

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

 

Open Hand Outreach strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Our goal is to ensure that our website is usable with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and other assistive technologies.

 

Key Accessibility Features

To achieve our accessibility goals, we work to ensure our site includes:

 

  • Keyboard Navigation: Clear focus indicators and logical navigation structures so users can browse using a keyboard alone.

     

  • Text Alternatives: Descriptive alt text for non-text content, such as images, diagrams, and icons.

     

  • Color Contrast: High-contrast text and visual elements to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.

     

  • Responsive Layout: Content that scales smoothly across mobile devices, tablets, and desktop displays without loss of information.

     

  • Accessible Forms: Clear labels, field descriptions, and error warnings across our online donation portal and contact forms.
