Website Accessibility Statement

The City of Winter Park is committed to making its website accessible to people with disabilities. We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Our efforts to identify and address accessibility barriers are ongoing.

Our website includes links to websites operated by other organizations. Independent external websites may have different accessibility features and policies. The City’s accessibility obligations also apply to online services provided on its behalf by outside vendors. If you encounter difficulty accessing a City service, please use the assistance options below.

Screen Readers

Please see below a list of the most popular screen readers available for download by their creators:

  • Apple macOS: VoiceOver, a screen reader built into Apple’s operating systems.
  • Linux: Orca, a free, open-source, flexible, and extensible screen reader.
  • Microsoft Windows: NonVisual Desktop Access (NV Access), a free and open-source portable screen reader.

Accessible Documents

Generally, we use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages and documents on the city’s website that are accessible to people who use screen reading software.

The city website also contains many Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) files, which the City has worked on and continues working on to optimize accessibility. According to Adobe, Acrobat Reader, which anyone can download free of charge, contains many capabilities specifically designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to read PDF files, including those not yet optimized for accessibility. Adobe states that the software leverages accessibility functions built into Apple macOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems and allows adjustment of user preferences to optimize the reading experience for a variety of disabilities.

Accessible Videos and Hearings

The City has purchased closed captioning hardware to make new, recent, and past videos more accessible. The City will also provide a sign language interpreter at any public meeting for a person with a hearing impairment. Both of these services will be provided upon request, free of charge. We ask for up to five business days’ notice to secure such services.

Operating System & Browser Accessibility Information

Many popular operating systems and browsers contain built-in accessibility tools that may provide additional assistance to persons with disabilities.

Upgrade your browser to enjoy the latest accessibility features.

Thank you for your patience as we continue our ongoing accessibility efforts.
