Accessibility
Gloucester Publick aims to meet WCAG 2.2 (opens in new tab) Level AA. That includes the WCAG 2.1 AA standard the 2024 ADA rule sets for state and local government websites.
- Works with screen readers, keyboards, and zoom up to 200%.
- Text and controls meet contrast requirements.
- Color is never the only way information is shown.
- Every chart has a table with the same numbers.
- Pages work without JavaScript.
Testing
Every update is checked automatically on every page, at phone and desktop sizes, and isn't published if it fails. New sections are also checked by hand with a keyboard and screen reader.
Known issue
Many agendas and minutes the city posts are scanned images, which screen readers can't read. Where a document is a scanned image, this site includes its full text as a readable version, transcribed by AI and labeled that way.
Report a problem
If something is hard to use, email gloucester-ma@publick.org or open an issue on the project's public issue tracker (opens in new tab), with the page address. If you need information in another format, ask.
