Our Commitment to Accessibility
The City of Thornton, Iowa is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all residents, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online experience consistent with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as well as applicable requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
Current Accessibility Status
We are actively working to improve the accessibility of our website. Our site is built on the Wix platform, which provides a number of built-in accessibility features including:
• Full keyboard navigation support
• Screen reader compatibility
• Logical content structure and heading hierarchy
• A “Skip to Main Content” link for keyboard users
• Alt text for images where applicable
• Sufficient color contrast for text and visual elements
We are continuing to audit and remediate accessibility issues as they are identified. Some content or features may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, and we are working to address these on an ongoing basis.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some older documents (such as PDFs) or third-party content embedded on our site may not yet meet accessibility standards. We are working to bring these materials into compliance or provide accessible alternatives upon request.
