Accessibility Statement

The  Fresno Art Museum is committed to making our website equally accessible for all users, including those with disabilities. Please contact us if you have any questions about accessibility for our website.

Who benefits from accessibility?

While the accessibility features of the FAM website certainly benefit visitors who may be blind, mobility-impaired, or using assistive technologies to navigate the Internet, they are also designed to make the experience of our site more pleasurable—and its use more intuitive—for a range of other users:

  • Users with normal, failing vision
  • Users with dyslexia
  • Users unable to distinguish between certain colors
  • Users who navigate with a keyboard or verbal input rather than with a mouse

Many of the measures we have taken to make the FAM website accessible and compatible with assistive technologies will not be apparent to the average visitor, but even for visitors who use the site in the conventional way, the consideration given to accessibility has serendipitous consequences. Our pages load quickly. They are more readily indexed by search engines. And our content is organized into easily scanned, bite-sized chunks. All of which makes it more likely you'll find the particular information you're looking for more quickly.

Alternate Formats

Is our font size too small for comfort? The FAM Website supports the built-in controls that all major browsers have for adjusting text size. Depending on your browser, "text size" or "zooming" features are typically available in one of the browser's menus and allow you to adjust the text size as a percentage of the default size.

Compliance and Technical Details

The FAM website is designed to comply with the U.S. Federal Government 1998 Amendment to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as well as to Conformance Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines recommended by the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative. In some measure these standards are subjective, but we have reviewed the guidelines and believe that the templates of our website are in compliance.

The site is standards-based and composed in semantic, valid XHTML 1.0 Strict with valid Cascading Style Sheets, which may be verified on any page.
