Accessibility Statement
Effective Date: August 28, 2026
1. Our Commitment
At I7 Ministry, we are dedicated to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We believe everyone deserves equal access to our resources, materials, and digital experience. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
2. 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.
The I7 Ministry website strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.
3. Measures to Support Accessibility
We take the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:
-
Keyboard Navigation: Designing interactive elements (buttons, links, forms) to be fully navigable using a standard keyboard without requiring a mouse.
-
Text Alternatives: Providing descriptive alternative text (alt text) for non-decorative images to support screen reader users.
-
Color Contrast: Ensuring text and essential graphics meet or exceed the recommended contrast ratios against background colors for readability.
-
Resizable Text: Allowing text to be enlarged using standard browser controls without breaking page layout or structure.
-
Clear Structure: Utilizing semantic HTML headings, landmark regions, and consistent layouts to make page navigation logical for assistive technologies.
4. Known Limitations & Technical Specifications
While we strive for complete site accessibility, some content—such as older downloadable documents (PDFs) or embedded third-party media—may not fully conform to the highest standards. We are actively working to update or replace these resources as discovered.
Our website relies on standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WAI-ARIA) to function with particular web browsers and assistive software.
