Accessibility Statement

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum firmly believes that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, SBMM aims to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities.

Complying with those guidelines helps SBMM ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

SBMM aims to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, SBMM has worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise more than 95 percent of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

SBMM is committed to full website accessibility for all visitors. SBMM’s website is monitored, and development is ongoing to ensure continued compliance with applicable website accessibility standards. If you are having difficulty accessing this website, please contact SBMM Deputy Director Jessica Tade at jtade@sbmm.org or (805) 284-0299 so that we can assist you.
