Website Accessibility Policy

At the Strawberry Hill Museum, we are committed to providing a welcoming and accessible online experience for all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We believe everyone deserves equal access to information, services, and digital experiences, and we continually work to make our website as inclusive and user-friendly as possible.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are dedicated to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable accessibility regulations. As part of our commitment, we strive to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — widely recognized as the standard for digital accessibility.

Actions We’ve Taken

To support accessibility across our website, we have taken proactive steps, including:

  • Designing and developing with accessibility in mind from the start
  • Conducting regular audits and evaluations to identify and address potential barriers
  • Providing text alternatives for non-text content
  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast and navigability using a keyboard
  • Structuring content clearly and consistently
  • Training our team in accessibility best practices
  • Partnering with industry tools and experts for ongoing improvements

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is not a one-time project, but an ongoing commitment. We regularly monitor our site and update content and features to improve the experience for all users.

Third-Party Content

While we work to ensure accessibility on our own website, some content — such as third-party plugins or embeds — may be outside our direct control. We encourage these providers to offer accessible solutions and welcome feedback about any barriers encountered.

If You Encounter a Problem

We value your feedback. If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website or have suggestions for how we can improve, please reach out. We take your concerns seriously and will do our best to address them promptly.

A Note to Small Business Owners

We are aware of growing legal pressure on small businesses regarding accessibility, sometimes in the form of broad demand letters. Like many, we believe that true inclusion should be pursued in good faith — not through fear tactics that burden small operations trying to do the right thing. We stand with fellow businesses committed to continuous accessibility improvements and encourage collaboration and support within our community.
