Lone Tree Cemetery is committed to providing a full website accessibility experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Website Accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Features Of Our Website Accessibility

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

  • One Click Accessibility Plugin

Where We’re Improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:

  • 3rd Party Add-ons for Available Property & Property Search

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at Lone Tree Cemetery a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.

Website Accessibility Support Contact

We welcome comments, questions, and feedback on our website. If you are using assistive technologies and are having difficulty using our website, please email lisa@lisajacobidesign.com.  We will do our best to assist you and resolve issues.
