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.
