General
Access to any company’s website can be challenging for persons having certain disabilities. A person’s disability is often unique. What may work well for one person may cause difficulties for another person. Our company has made efforts to accommodate as many of our customers and potential customers as is reasonable given our size, resources, knowledge of our customers, and potential customers’ needs. To that end, we have engaged the services of professionals to assist and advise us in these matters.
We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines 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. Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 level AA.
