ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Our Commitment

At Let Her Shine, we believe everyone deserves equal access to inspiration, education, and opportunity.
We are committed to making our website — [www.lethershine.org] — accessible to people of all abilities, ensuring that all visitors can navigate, engage, and experience our content with ease and enjoyment. Accessibility is at the heart of our mission to empower women and young women to rise, lead, and shine.

​

What Web Accessibility Means

An accessible website allows visitors with disabilities to browse and interact with content as easily as other users.
Accessibility is achieved through the design of the site, compatibility with assistive technologies (such as screen readers), and the use of modern accessibility standards. We strive to ensure our website follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, at the AA level of compliance, which is recognized as the international standard for digital accessibility.

​

Accessibility Adjustments on This Site

We have adapted our website in accordance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines and taken the following steps to enhance accessibility:

​

  • Used Wix’s Accessibility Wizard to identify and correct potential accessibility issues

  • Set the default language of the site to English (United States)

  • Defined clear heading structures and logical content order for all pages

  • Added alternative text (“alt text”) to meaningful images and graphics

  • Implemented color combinations that meet required contrast ratios

  • Reduced the use of motion and animation for users with sensitivities

  • Ensured compatibility with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive tools

  • Reviewed video, audio, and downloadable content for accessibility features

 

Our accessibility improvements are ongoing as we continue to monitor and optimize our site to maintain compliance and user-friendly experiences for all visitors.

​

Declaration of Partial Compliance (Third-Party Content)

Some pages on our website may include third-party content or embedded features (such as social media feeds, videos, or donation forms) that are not fully controlled by Let Her Shine. While we strive to ensure all content meets accessibility standards, certain third-party integrations may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. We continue to work with our partners to encourage accessibility improvements across all platforms.

​

Accessibility Arrangements in Our Organization

Our physical and event spaces are selected with accessibility in mind.
We aim to provide reasonable accommodations for all participants, including:

​

  • Reserved seating and early access for individuals with mobility needs

  • Use of microphones, captioning, or interpretation services during presentations when possible
