    Is there a way to add accessibility tools to the Club Runner Websites? Rotary is focusing on inclusiveness and accessibility. Tools to help those with different needs, such as eye site, hearing difficulties would make websites more accessible.

    Hello Sue. Did you get a response to your question from Clubrunner? I am interested also. I'm wondering if you sent an email directly to support on this yet?

    Hi Sue and David,

    Thank you for reaching out with these great questions. Apologies to Sue that your inquiry had not been followed up with.

    ClubRunner does its best to ensure that the default website content that we provide, and pages provided by the system, are accessibility friendly as possible. This includes things like making sure our default colors and themes pass contrast and readability standard, alt text is entered for images, and making sure the website supports screen readers. There is a lot more than that, but this covers some of the basic issues that many site owners can run into. We do not however provide something like a floating toolbox, allowing end users to make direct adjustments to the site. Based on our internal research, these have shown to cause more problems than actual solutions for most users.


    Its also important to note that customers when creating content on their own, to consider those same guidelines and make sure their generated content is accessible as well. The system has tools to make sure customers can keep this content up to date as required.

    If you or someone else runs into a specific issue, we would be happy to investigate and work to improve it.
