Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on August 8, 2025.

We at BlackStar Arms are working to make our site https://www.blackstararms.org accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.2 guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of AA. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:

Used the Wix Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues
Set the language of the site (English-US)
Set the content order (DOM order) of the site’s pages for logical reading and tab flow
Defined clear heading structures (H1/H2/H3) on all of the site’s pages
Added alternative text to meaningful images and decorative markers when appropriate
Implemented color combinations that meet required contrast ratios
Reduced the use of motion and provided user controls for animated elements where possible
Ensured videos, audio, and downloadable files are accessible (captions/transcripts or accessible alternatives where feasible)

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content

Certain pages may include third-party content and widgets that are outside our control (for example: embedded videos, maps, scheduling tools, or social media feeds). These services are provided by their respective vendors and may not fully meet WCAG 2.2 AA. Pages that may be affected include: /contact-us, /training, and related class registration pages.

Accessibility arrangements in the organization

If you visit us for in-person training or events, reasonable accommodations are available upon request. Please contact us in advance so we can assist with arrangements (for example, accessible seating or materials). Service animals are welcome where permitted by law.
