About AZAMRA

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We want everyone who visits the AZAMRA website to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding.

What are we doing?

To help us make the AZAMRA website a positive place for everyone, we've been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for the AZAMRA website.

How are we doing?

We've worked hard on the AZAMRA website and believe we've achieved our goal of Level AA accessibility. We monitor the website regularly to maintain this, but if you do find any problems, please contact us.

Accessibility issues to note

The Spirituality Resources Carousel

We are using the Accessible and Responsive Slick Carousel for links from our homepage to our Spirituality Resources section. When in desktop mode, there appears to be a bug with the carousel in Firefox, so we added a hidden link to the Spirituality Resources above the carousel for screen readers.

Videos

There are a number of youtube hosted videos on our site. At this time, some of the videos have captions, although they do not all have captions. We will keep you informed as to our updates.
