At Forty Three by Nick Mayer, we are committed to providing a user-friendly and inclusive experience for all visitors to our website, including individuals with disabilities. We understand the importance of making our online presence accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities or the devices they are using.
Our goal is to ensure that our website is accessible and usable for individuals with a range of disabilities, whether they have visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, or other disabilities. In this spirit, we continuously work to improve the accessibility features of our website to provide an optimal browsing experience for all.
Accessibility Commitment
We are fully committed to meeting or exceeding the accessibility requirements outlined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, and we aim to ensure that our website is fully navigable and functional for people with disabilities. This means that we actively work to ensure that all content on our site is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
Key Accessibility Features
We have implemented a number of features to enhance the accessibility of our website, including but not limited to:
-
Alternative Text (Alt Text) for Images: We use descriptive alt text for all images, graphics, and multimedia content so that visually impaired users can understand the context of the images through screen readers. For example, product images, logos, and icons are all accompanied by descriptive alt text.
-
Keyboard Navigation: We have designed the website to be fully navigable using only a keyboard. Users who cannot use a mouse should be able to access all features and content through keyboard shortcuts, tabbing, and enter key functionality.
-
Accessible Forms: All forms on our website are designed to be easily navigable and accessible. Input fields, labels, and error messages are clearly defined, and form validation is provided to assist users in completing forms correctly.
-
Clear and Consistent Layout: We have worked to ensure that the website’s layout is intuitive and consistent. Headings, subheadings, and navigation elements are structured in a way that makes it easier for users with disabilities to navigate and understand the content.
-
Contrast and Color Settings: We have ensured that our website's text and background have sufficient contrast to assist users with visual impairments, including those with color blindness. We also provide alternative color schemes when possible, allowing users to choose a layout that best suits their needs.
-
Text Resizing and Zooming: We have made sure that text can be resized without loss of content or functionality. Users can zoom in and out of the site without disrupting the page layout, improving accessibility for individuals with low vision or other visual impairments.
-
Transcripts and Captions for Media: Any videos or audio content available on our site are accompanied by transcripts and captions, making it easier for people with hearing impairments to access the information.
-
Screen Reader Compatibility: We have optimized our website for compatibility with popular screen readers. This ensures that all content is announced clearly, in order, and without error when using screen reader software.
Ongoing Accessibility Efforts
We are committed to improving accessibility on a continual basis. Accessibility is a priority, and we continuously test, assess, and update our website’s functionality to provide the best possible user experience for all visitors, regardless of ability.
We are also aware that accessibility is a journey, not a destination. As such, we are constantly evaluating new ways to enhance our website’s accessibility, and we embrace feedback from users to help us make our site more inclusive.
