Known limitations:

Assessment approach

Jefferson Land Trust assessed the accessibility of saveland.org by the following approaches:

  • Self-evaluation
  • Use of Chrome Wave Evaluation Tool
    • WAVE is a web accessibility evaluation tool developed by WebAIM.org. It provides visual feedback about the accessibility of your web content by injecting icons and indicators into your page. No automated tool can tell you if your page is accessible, but WAVE facilitates human evaluation and educates about accessibility issues. All analysis is done entirely within the Chrome browser allowing secure valuation of intranet, local, password protected, and other sensitive web pages.
  • Use of Contrast Grid for color testing
    • Test many foreground and background color combos for compliance with WCAG 2.0 minimum contrast.
