Atlantis City Pursues Full ADA Accessibility for Website Following WCAG 2.0 Guidelines

The City of Atlantis is actively working to make its official website fully accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This ongoing effort ensures that residents can access vital information and services online, aligning with the City's commitment to digital inclusion.

The City's primary goal involves conforming to the World Wide Web Consortium’s Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Levels A and AA. This standard provides a comprehensive framework for making web content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these.

City officials continue to test the website and remove barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from interacting with or accessing information. If staff identify non-conforming content, the City will make reasonable good faith efforts to align it with WCAG 2.0 Levels A and AA standards. This proactive approach helps maintain an inclusive online environment for all Atlantis residents.

Residents who encounter difficulties accessing information on the City's website can contact the City Clerk for assistance. They can email the City Clerk or call 561-965-1744 to request information in an alternative format. The City will provide reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

It is important to note that the City of Atlantis is not responsible for ensuring that third-party content or plug-ins, which are not owned by the City but are otherwise located on or linked to the City Website, conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA. The City will not be liable if third-party content or plug-ins are inaccessible to individuals with disabilities.
