Striving for an Accessible Website

Our Commitment

The Barr Foundation is committed to creating an accessible website experience for everyone, including people with disabilities. We embrace digital accessibility as more than a legal compliance requirement. Creating experiences that are accessible for all is our moral obligation.

We built our website with broad accessibility in mind and are continually working to address barriers and improve functionality for those using assistive technologies.

Our ongoing partnerships with Level Access and Alloy Marketing ensure that we hold ourselves to the highest standards for usability when developing digital experiences.

What is digital accessibility?

Digital accessibility is the practice of removing any barriers that might prevent full engagement with a digital experience. People with disabilities may interact with experiences in different ways, including using assistive technology like a screen reader or alternative input devices.  

We prioritize digital accessibility as part of our commitment to delivering an inclusive experience for everyone. This work involves creating accessible designs, delivering code that properly interacts with assistive technology, and ensuring the user interface is logical and functional for all. 

Who does it benefit?

A clear, logical, functional user interface is easier to navigate and more enjoyable for everyone. But digital accessibility is particularly important for people with disabilities—especially those with visual, cognitive, and physical impacts. 

This community represents a significant segment of the population. According to the World Health Organization, globally, there are more than 1 billion people living with a disability. 

Partnering with Level Access

Through our partnership with Level Access, we are equipped to continuously identify and fix accessibility barriers that may be blocking a user from full engagement.
