Web Accessibility
Last Updated: November 2025
At the Frenchmon & Nettie M. Pippins Wellness Center, we are committed to ensuring that our website, Pippins Wellness Center (www.pippinswellnesscenter.org), is accessible to all individuals, including people with disabilities. An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse, navigate, and interact with online content with the same—or a similar—level of ease and enjoyment as all other visitors. This accessibility is achieved through both system-level design and compatibility with assistive technologies.
To support this commitment, our website has been developed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and 2.1, striving to meet Level AA standards. We have integrated accessibility features across the site, including alternative text for images, proper heading structure, keyboard-friendly navigation, screen-reader compatibility, clear content hierarchy, descriptive labels, appropriate color contrast, reduced motion where possible, and accessibility adjustments for videos, audio, and downloadable files. We also use accessibility tools and checks to continuously identify and fix issues as the site evolves.
