Web
Accessibility Standards
The Town of Ayer is committed to achieving meaningful
accessibility to this online environment for all
users, including users with disabilities. We follow
specific Commonwealth enterprise standards
designed to meet the needs of our citizens with
disabilities. The Commonwealth enterprise
standards are generally based on standards used
by the Federal government for technology
accessibility for people with disabilities, and
web content accessibility guidelines developed
by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). For more
information about the Federal standards, please
visit the Section 508 web site (http://www.section508.gov) or
the Federal Access Board web site (http://www.access-board.gov).
For more information about the W3C guidelines,
please visit their web site (http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT).
The Town of Ayer web site is regularly tested
using leading web accessibility technologies and
reviewed by users to verify that this web site
is compliant with applicable standards.
