General Statement
Muscatine County is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all, including individuals with disabilities and those who use assistive technology. We recognize that digital accessibility compliance is an evolving process, and we are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website.
Standards
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
Wherever possible, Muscatine County will aim to adhere to Level AA of the WCAG 2.1 guidelines, which state that sites should be:
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
- Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
- Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
- Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
