Bear Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.
WE ARE WORKING ON IMPROVING OUR WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY NOW!
Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility
We strive to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.
Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our webmaster using industry-standard tools, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.
Where We’re Improving
In our efforts to learn and bring our website up to standard, we are working hard on the following areas:
- Video closed captions and transcripts
- Link and text size and contrast issues
- Image slider accessibility
- Alternative text on images
- Heading issues and tab order
This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
