Accessibility Statement

The American Hop Museum is committed to making our website accessible to as many visitors as possible, including people with disabilities.

​

We believe everyone should be able to explore the history of hops, learn from our exhibits, and access information about our museum, whether visiting in person or online.

​

Our Commitment

We are actively working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website and strive to follow generally recognized accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

​

Our website is built using the Wix platform, which includes built-in accessibility features and tools designed to support assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and text resizing.

​

Accessibility Features & Adjustments

As part of our ongoing efforts, we aim to:

• Use clear headings and readable text

• Add descriptive alternative text (alt text) to images where possible

• Ensure the site can be navigated using a keyboard

• Maintain sufficient color contrast for readability

• Reduce the use of motion on the site

• Ensure videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

​

Known Limitations

While we strive to make all areas of our website accessible, some content or features may not yet fully meet every accessibility standard. This may include:

• Older content that has not yet been fully updated

• Third-party tools or embedded content that is outside our direct control

​

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we appreciate your patience as we continue to improve.

 

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we add new content or features, we aim to review them for accessibility and make improvements where possible. While we work to make all areas of the site accessible, some content may not yet fully meet every accessibility standard.
