## A Website Designed for Everyone

We want this website to work for everyone. Parents. Kids. Caregivers. Every ability. When our website is easy-to-use, more families get connected. More kids find their Club. Stronger communities follow!

That’s why we’re committed to keeping this website clear, accessible, and always improving. We follow accessibility and usability best practices informed by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2). This is not a one-time fix, but ongoing attentiveness.

## With Every Update

Every update is made with usability in mind:

- Clear headings that organize content (WCAG 2.4.6 Headings and Labels)
- Alternative text for meaningful images (WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text Content)
- Strong contrast for readability (WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast – Minimum)
- Clear, descriptive links and buttons (WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose)
- Proper labels for forms and inputs (WCAG 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions)
- Logical reading and navigation order (WCAG 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence)
- Keyboard-friendly navigation (WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard)
- No critical information embedded only in images (WCAG 1.4.5 Images of Text)
- Consistent navigation across the site (WCAG 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation)

## Throughout the Year

### Quarterly Reviews

We regularly review key areas of the website:

- High-traffic and recently updated pages Mobile experience and layout (WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow)
- Keyboard navigation and basic screen reader checks
- Forms for clarity and ease of use
- Clear instructions (WCAG 3.3.2)
- Helpful error messages (WCAG 3.3.1 Error Identification)
- Feedback submitted by users

### Periodic Accessibility Reviews

Throughout the year, we take a deeper look:

- Broader testing across pages and templates
- Navigation flow and focus order (WCAG 2.4.3 Focus Order)
- Visible focus indicators (WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible)
- Content clarity and readability
- Opportunities to improve consistency across the site

### Annual Planning

Each year, we step back. We ask: are we truly serving kids and families well through our website? We improve what matters. We simplify what doesn’t. Because this website—like everything we do—is about helping Arizona kids thrive!
