Accessibility Statement

The Beekman Estate is committed to improving the accessibility of our website and electronic communications and is striving for the highest level of accessibility for people with disabilities.

Over time we will be implementing relevant portions of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. These processes will promote accessibility for everyone, regardless of disability or device used to access information on our websites and electronic communications.

Below are some of the steps we are or will be taking to ensure the accessibility of our online materials.

All images will contain appropriate alternative text
Data tables will contain headers where appropriate
Headings will be used throughout the site
Multimedia (video or audio clips) will be captioned and/or described
Foreground/background color schemes will provide adequate contrast
Information will not be conveyed through the use of color alone
Links will be worded to make sense when read out of context
Text will be resizable in all browsers

Please be aware that our efforts are ongoing; as a result there may be areas of our sites that are less accessible than others during a given period of time.
