Accessibility Statement

Dane County Land & Water Resources Department is committed to ensuring lwrTools is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.

This commitment extends to all pages served by lwrTools, both internal tooling pages, and public-facing resources.

• Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy and landmark regions
• Keyboard navigation for all interactive features
• Skip navigation links to bypass repetitive content
• Sufficient color contrast in both light and dark modes (minimum 4.5:1 ratio)
• Screen reader compatibility with ARIA labels and live regions
• Responsive design that adapts to different viewport sizes
• Accessible clipboard copy pattern with screen reader announcements
• Reduced motion support via prefers-reduced-motion media query
• Automated WCAG compliance testing integrated into the build pipeline using static analysis regression tests
• In-browser testing with WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool)

• Single-page applications (SPA) served by lwrTools are client-side applications with their own accessibility implementations; this statement covers the server-rendered lwrTools pages, but not the client-side SPAs
• Some legacy MS Access application help content references network paths that cannot be validated for accessibility

If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us.
