Accessibility Statement

Last updated: November 30, 2025

Central Baptist Church Old Providence Island is committed to making our website accessible and usable for all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to offer an online experience that allows everyone to access information about our church, ministries, and services with ease.

Although we are not formally certified as WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, we actively work toward good accessibility practices.

1. Our Accessibility Approach

This website has been developed with general accessibility principles in mind. Efforts include:

  • Using clear and readable text

  • Maintaining consistent layouts

  • Including descriptive ALT text on images whenever possible

  • Ensuring proper semantic structure (such as headings, lists, and navigation elements)

  • Providing adequate color contrast

  • Avoiding flashing elements or unnecessary animations

  • Offering accessible embedded media when platforms allow it

Because the site is built using a standard WordPress theme, it benefits from built-in semantic HTML and accessibility-friendly defaults provided by the theme.

2. Accessibility Features Implemented

To help support users with different needs, the website includes:

  • Contrast-friendly color combinations

  • ALT descriptions for images and graphics

  • Scalable text through browser controls

  • Keyboard navigation support provided inherently by WordPress

  • Responsive design, making the site usable on various devices

  • Clean and simple layouts without complex interaction requirements

We continue to review and improve accessibility over time.

3. Use of Third-Party Content and Platforms

Our website may include:

  • Embedded livestreams

  • Embedded videos (via The Church Online Platform, Facebook Live, or YouTube)

  • Third-party plugins used for performance, security, or display functions

These third-party providers may not fully conform to accessibility guidelines.
However, we aim to select tools and platforms that strive toward inclusive access whenever possible.

4. Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We regularly review our site to identify opportunities to:

  • Improve readability

  • Enhance navigation

  • Expand alternative text usage

  • Optimize audio/video accessibility when feasible

As the website grows, we plan to continue improving accessibility features based on user feedback and available tools.
