Bartow City Website Gets Major Accessibility Overhaul

Bartow residents will soon find the city's website easier to use. The city began an initiative earlier this month to improve its online presence, aiming to meet current accessibility standards. This project ensures all residents, including those with disabilities, can access information and city services more readily.

City officials stated the goal is to create a user-friendly experience for everyone, regardless of technological or physical abilities. Improvements will include ensuring compatibility with screen readers, adding alternative text to images and optimizing website navigation for keyboard-only users.

The city is prioritizing these website enhancements, with gradual updates expected as the project progresses.
