Accessibility Statement

Designed to be easier to use.

Last updated: June 24, 2026. Hope Deliverance Center wants this website to be welcoming, readable, and usable for visitors with a wide range of access needs.

Our Accessibility Goal

This website is designed with WCAG-informed practices, including semantic page structure, responsive layouts, readable contrast, descriptive link text, and keyboard-friendly navigation patterns. We also provide a built-in Accessibility Widget — a tool that lets you customize your browsing experience in real time.

Accessibility Widget Features

Click the gold accessibility icon on the left side of any page to open the widget. All settings are saved automatically and restored on your next visit.

  • Font Size — Increase, decrease, or reset the text size (70% to 150%).
  • High Contrast — Switches to a black background with white text and yellow links for maximum readability.
  • Dyslexia-Friendly Font — Replaces the site font with OpenDyslexic, a font designed for readers with dyslexia, with extra letter spacing.
  • Increased Spacing — Doubles line height and widens letter and word spacing for easier reading.
  • Link Underlines — Forces visible underlines on all links with a thicker stroke for clarity.
  • Pause Animations — Stops all CSS animations, transitions, and motion effects instantly.
  • Large Cursor — Replaces the default cursor with a larger gold-ring cursor (32px) for better visibility.

Use the Reset All button at the bottom of the widget to clear all settings and return to the default view.
