Commitment to Accessibility

Mississippi First is committed to making our website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to ensure that our digital content meets or exceeds the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to provide an inclusive online experience.

 

Accessibility Statement

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

There are three levels of conformance: Level A (basic), Level AA (intermediate), and Level AAA (advanced). Mississippi First seeks to conform with WCAG 2.0 at conformance level AA as this is the most frequently adopted standard by governments around the world and is also the conformance level recommended by many accessibility auditing agencies (such as the Bureau of Internet Accessibility).

We are committed to continuous improvement so that we may increase our compliance level over time as we learn and grow, aiming to eventually conform with the most current WCAG standard (version 2.2, released in September 2022). Additionally, we will preferentially purchase apps and third-party tools that meet or exceed our web accessibility policy.
