Our Commitment

Phoenix Elks Lodge #335 strives to ensure our digital experiences are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

What we do

  • Use semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks, and proper form labels.
  • Maintain sufficient color contrast and meaningful focus states.
  • Ensure keyboard accessibility for navigation and interactive controls.
  • Provide text alternatives for images and media where possible.
  • Test with modern browsers and assistive technologies.

Built-in accessibility features

  • Skip to content link for screen reader and keyboard users.
  • High Contrast toggle for improved readability.
  • Adjustable base text size (A+/A−) that persists on your device.

Compatibility & technologies

This site relies on HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript and is designed for current versions of major browsers. We consider compatibility with screen readers (e.g., NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) and keyboard-only navigation.

Third-party content

Some content (e.g., embedded calendars, maps, or PDFs) may originate from third parties. While we don’t control their code, we choose providers that strive for accessible experiences and will relay any issues we learn about.

Feedback & requests

If you encounter a barrier or need an alternative format, please let us know. We take accessibility seriously and will respond promptly.

Ongoing improvements

We continuously review new and existing pages, content, and features for accessibility. If you have suggestions for improvement, we welcome them through the feedback options above.
