ACCESSIBILITY

ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

This statement was last updated on January 1, 2026


We at Chapel By The Sea are working to make our site captivachapel.com accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG [2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 - select relevant option] guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of [A / AA / AAA - select relevant option]. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also [remove irrelevant information]:

 

  • Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

  • Set the language of the site 

  • Set the content order of the site’s pages

  • Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

  • Added alternative text to images

  • Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

  • Reduced the use of motion on the site

  • Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

Accessibility arrangements at the Chapel

Captiva Chapel By The Sea is dedicated to welcoming all individuals, including those with disabilities, to experience the peace and beauty of our Gulfside chapel and grounds.
 

Parking & Arrival

  • Designated accessible parking is available in the shared lot adjacent to the Chapel, just off Chapel Way.

  • The parking area is flat and unpaved but accessible for most mobility devices.

  • A wheelchair-accessible ramp is located at the west side of the Chapel building.
