What web accessibility is

Accessibility Standards

Our website strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which are the standards referenced in California law for website accessibility. These guidelines help make web content more accessible for individuals with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Measures Taken

  • We regularly audit our website using automated tools and manual testing to identify and address accessibility issues.

  • Our site incorporates features such as alternative text for images, keyboard navigation, sufficient color contrast, and compatibility with screen readers.

  • We provide ongoing training to our content creators and developers on accessibility best practices.

  • In alignment with Santa Monica's commitment to inclusivity, we ensure our digital content supports the city's broader accessibility efforts, such as those for public services and community resources.
