Website Accessibility
We are currently working to ensure that our website complies with recognised accessibility standards, including the WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. The Medieval Mile Museum is working to review its website and visitor experience to ensure that everyone can access and enjoy Kilkenny’s history.
We have made a number of improvements to help make the Medieval Mile Museum website easier to use for everyone. These include:
- The website is keyboard-accessible for visitors who cannot use a mouse.
- Clear headings are used to organise information and help visitors move through the pages more easily.
- Using a website system that supports accessibility standards.
- We have chosen colours carefully to make the text easier to read.
