Accessibility Statement

The City of Winston-Salem strives to make our web site and our services available to all citizens by following the guidelines of the W3C for accessibility.

• Every page has a Skip Navigation that allows you to avoid the redundant navigation links and jump to the center content.
• Images have alt tags to explain what the image is showing.
• Text size is scalable; using relative-size fonts.
• Text equivalents are provided for non-text items such as Flash movies and video content-rich pages.
• Lists of items are marked up as lists.
• Links are designated by underlining, except in the left navigation column and the footer link section.
• Forms can be navigated and submitted by using the keyboard.

If you are having any difficulty with this site, please contact the webmaster and explain what you are trying to do and the problem with completing the task.  E-mail the webmaster at: thewebmaster@cityofws.org

TIPS

To change the view size of the text on web pages, go to your View menu and look for the "Text Size" item and then choose "larger" or "increase" to make the letters bigger. This change will also cause the page to print the larger size text. Images will not be changed. (This works if the page is designed to allow it.)
