Measures to Support Accessibility

The Mercer County Commission of WV takes the following measures to ensure the accessibility of mercercountywv.org:

  • Include people with disabilities in our website user interface.

Conformance Status

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. The Mercer County Commission website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional Accessibility Considerations

Although our goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we may have also applied some Level A and Level AAA criteria. Images of text are only used for decorative purposes. Re-authentication, after a session expires, does not cause loss of data. Some images may be missing alternative text.

Compatibility with Browsers and Assistive Technologies

mercercountywv.org is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

  • browsers using Chromium technology with assistive technology on operating systems where these browsers are available.

mercercountywv.org is not compatible with:

  • browsers older than 1 major version or operating systems older than 3 years
