effective 1/1/2020

The Town of Frankfort is committed to ensuring that our website, townoffrankfortny.gov, is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and, in doing so, adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance to these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

Measures We've Taken to Support Accessibility

  • Design and Development: We have designed our website with accessibility in mind, including features such as clear navigation, high-contrast colors, and resizable text.

  • Alternative Text: We aim to provide descriptive alternative text for images and other non-text content to ensure users with screen readers can understand the content.

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated and used without a mouse, using only a keyboard.

  • Ongoing Audits: We regularly review our website to identify and fix accessibility issues.

Third-Party Accessibility Software

Some parts of our website may use third-party software or services to enhance accessibility. While we make every effort to ensure these tools are compatible with our commitment to accessibility, we cannot guarantee their complete functionality or conformance to all accessibility standards. For example, we may use an accessibility widget or plug-in to provide features like text size adjustments, screen reader compatibility, and color contrast changes. These tools are designed to supplement our core accessibility efforts and provide additional options for users.
