Accessibility Statement for Whisker Mountain

Commitment to Accessibility

Whisker Mountain is committed to ensuring that our website, whiskermountain.org, is accessible to all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive digital experience that aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and applicable accessibility laws.

  • WCAG standards

Ongoing Efforts

We regularly review, test, and update our website to identify and address accessibility barriers. Our efforts include:

  • Accessibility audits — periodic manual and automated testing

  • Semantic HTML — proper headings, labels, and landmarks

  • Keyboard accessibility — ensuring all interactive elements are operable without a mouse

  • Color contrast compliance — meeting WCAG AA contrast ratios

  • Assistive technology compatibility — supporting screen readers, magnifiers, and voice input tools

  • Responsive design — ensuring usability across devices and screen sizes

Accessibility Features

To support an accessible experience, our website includes:

  • Text alternatives for meaningful images

  • Logical heading structure

  • Clear link purpose and descriptive text

  • Accessible forms with proper labels

  • Consistent navigation patterns

  • Avoidance of flashing or distracting content

Known Limitations

While we work to ensure full accessibility, some areas may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, including:

  • Third‑party embeds or widgets we cannot control

  • Legacy content undergoing remediation

  • External links that may not follow accessibility best practices

We are actively addressing these issues and welcome feedback to help prioritize improvements.

Third‑Party Content

Our website may include content or features provided by external vendors or platforms. Because we do not control these systems, they may not fully comply with accessibility standards.

  • Third‑party accessibility
