Accessibility statement
Our standard
This website is built to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the standard the ADA Title II rule sets for state and local governments. We hold our own site to the standard we build for our clients.
We also checked the site against the criteria that WCAG 2.2 added at Levels A and AA. Keyboard focus is never hidden behind other content, buttons and links are large enough to tap, and help is in the same place on every page. The site has no dragging, sign-ins or multi-step forms, which the remaining new criteria cover. The site uses one color scheme, light, and its text contrast was measured against that.
How we checked it
- Every page, including the example sites, was scanned with the axe-core accessibility engine in Chrome at desktop and phone widths, with the browser set to light and to dark.
- Every page was checked with the keyboard alone: each link and form field can be reached in a logical order, and each shows a visible focus outline.
- Every page was checked at a width of 320 pixels, the equivalent of 400% zoom, for content that runs off the side. Wide tables scroll inside their own box instead.
- Text contrast was measured in every color scheme the site uses.
- The example report form was completed and sent using only the keyboard, and it will not send until its required questions are answered.
- The example business directory was searched and filtered using only the keyboard, and it announces how many businesses it found.
Automated tools and keyboard checks do not catch everything, so we welcome reports from the people who use the site.
Website analytics and privacy
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies, does not fingerprint your browser and does not follow you to other sites. Google Analytics is optional. For visitors identified by Cloudflare as being in the United States, it starts automatically unless you have rejected analytics or enabled a browser privacy signal. In all other countries, or when the location is unknown, it waits for Accept analytics. It also waits for acceptance if your browser cannot save your preference. Cloudflare determines the country for this choice; we do not store its location response. Choose Reject analytics to keep it off in every region, or use Analytics settings to change or withdraw your choice. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control keep Google Analytics off.
Optional Google Analytics helps us understand which public pages are useful and count selected contact clicks and requests that our form service confirms it received. A phone or email click does not tell us whether you completed a call or sent a message. We do not enable advertising features or send form contents, query strings or URL fragments. The standalone model viewers and example sites do not load this optional analytics script. We save your analytics preference in this browser so you do not have to choose again on every page. More about Google’s handling of data is available in Google’s privacy policy.
The Bell Tower Digital interaction script opens the menu on small screens, works the deadline check on the compliance page, copies the RFP clause, and keeps the readiness checklist’s ticks in your own browser’s storage; those ticks are never sent to us. Without the script every page still reads in full: the menu shows as a plain list, and the dates the deadline check gives are also written out on the page.
The website checkup form and the casino quote form send the details you enter to our client support system at support.belltowerdigital.com. For a website checkup, we receive the website address, email address and any name, organization or phone number you type. A casino quote sends your name, email, organization, optional website and phone, selected service and project brief to the same system for human review. To write the new home page, we visit the website address you gave and send the text of its public pages to ChatGPT; your name, email address and phone number are not sent there. The form needs the script; if the script is off, the page gives an email address to use instead.
On the example sites, a second script filters the business directory on the Harrow Falls example. It runs in your browser, so what you search for is never sent to us. Without the script, the full directory still shows. Nothing typed into the example report form leaves your browser. The one answer that does is the kind of problem you pick, which appears in the address of the confirmation page. We don’t save it.
