Accessibility
California Porch should work for more neighbors.
Public information is only useful when people can reach it, read it, and move through it without unnecessary barriers.

What we work toward
We work toward clear headings, keyboard access, visible focus, useful link names, labeled controls, text alternatives, readable contrast, zoom-friendly layouts, and error messages that do not depend on color alone. We use WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a practical reference.
How we check
The built site is checked for heading order, labels, accessible names, keyboard-focus styling, alternative text, ARIA references, duplicate IDs, and other common problems. Automated checks cannot confirm every real experience, so manual keyboard, zoom, contrast, and screen-reader checks remain part of the work.
Tell us where the path breaks
If something is hard to read, reach, understand, or operate, send the page address and the task you were trying to finish. Browser, device, keyboard, zoom, or screen-reader details can help, but you do not need to disclose a disability or medical information.
A practical alternative
If a page blocks access to information, ask for the information in another reasonable format. We will try to provide the same public-source route or page information in a form that works better while the barrier is being fixed.
