Accessible by design
Accessibility at the City of Clayton
ADA Title II requires public websites to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA by April 26, 2027. This concept is built to that standard now, and we will keep it there.
Live demo
The difference, measured
Toggle between a representative audit of a typical legacy municipal site and this prototype's results. The "before" list reflects the issues most often found in audits of this site class; before submission, Stoa replaces it with a live axe-core and Lighthouse scan of the current City of Clayton site. The "after" reflects this prototype.

Our commitment
How we keep it accessible
- Semantic landmarks and a single clear heading on every page.
- Visible keyboard focus and logical tab order throughout.
- AA-contrast color across the entire palette, light and dark.
- Document accessibility: tagged, navigable PDFs, not just the page chrome.
- Automated checks in the publishing workflow, plus periodic manual audits.
