The 'Web Accessibility Quality Certification Mark' is awarded only to outstanding websites that comply with the Korean Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, ensuring that all users?including people with disabilities and the elderly?can use the website without inconvenience. The mark is granted after passing both expert and user evaluations conducted by the certification body.

To obtain the Web Accessibility Quality Certification Mark, the county improved its system environment in 2023 by revamping the official website and complying with standard guidelines, such as providing appropriate alternative text, subtitles, and ensuring keyboard accessibility.

County Governor Yoon Kyunghee said, "This web accessibility certification is the result of our efforts to provide universal and fair web services," and added, "We will continue to maintain and improve the website so that socially disadvantaged groups, such as people with disabilities and the elderly, can use it easily and conveniently."
