Wheels Family Skating is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.
Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility
We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.
Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.
Accessibility Features On Our Website
The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:
- Semantic HTML: We have structured the website content logically with informative headings, labels, and ARIA attributes to facilitate easy comprehension by screen readers and assistive technologies.
- Alternative Text: We have added descriptive alternative text for all images and non-text content to enable accessibility with screen readers and assistive technologies.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be efficiently navigated using a keyboard or voice recognition, eliminating the need for a mouse.
- Readable Text: We use legible fonts, readable text sizes, and appropriate color contrasts to ensure content is easily readable
- Consistent Layout: Our website maintains a consistent and predictable layout to simplify navigation
- Accessible Forms: Online forms on our website are designed with accessibility in mind, including clear field labels and error notifications.
- Streamlined Interface: We have optimized our web pages by consolidating sections, removing redundant content, and prioritizing concise, user-friendly content for an improved user experience.
- Responsive Design: Our website design has a mobile-responsive version with appropriately sized tap-targets.
- Navigational Aids: Skip navigation links have been incorporated to facilitate keyboard navigation and to bypass content on a page, allowing users to jump directly to the primary navigation, main content, and footer.
- Language: Our website declares a language in the header.
- ARIA: Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) screen-reader only text is present when links, buttons, icons, or images require additional context to understand their meaning.
Where We’re Improving
In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:
- Some older PDF documents on our website may not be accessible. We are working to make these documents accessible, but this may take some time.
- Our website may contain third-party widgets and links whose accessibility we don’t manage. Committed to an accessible web experience, we encourage you to contact us with any accessibility challenges.
