New Website

Meeting accessibility standards is an ongoing process. The Town of Walden is creating a new website to achieving this goal, of maintaining an accessible website.

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 Town of Walden Website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

The Town of Walden is working on both remediation of existing digital content assuring that new content meets the ADA standards. Our compliance plan aims to specify current issues and seek remediation. A checklist has been created to facilitate this process.

This is an evolving document which will allow website visitors to see the action steps being taken as well as track the progress. Due to funding and staffing limitations, remediating all digital content before the July 2024 deadline would cause an undue burden to the Town of Walden.

By prioritizing content and providing paths for content to be requested in alterative formats, we ensure equal access to our programs and services. For new content, content creators are responsible for developing and\ publishing content that meets best practices for digital accessibility.
