Accessibility Statement for Aurelian Bistro

Aurelian Bistro is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors, and applying the relevant accessibility standards to provide a website that is inclusive and barrier-free.

Our Commitment

We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities. To uphold this commitment, we strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented a variety of features to enhance the accessibility of our website. These include:

• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text, ensuring that users who are unable to see the images can understand their content and purpose. This allows screen readers to accurately convey visual information.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality. Tab order is logical and intuitive.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color palettes to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read and understand the content.
• Clear and Consistent Structure: We use semantic HTML to create a clear and consistent structure, making it easier for users to navigate and understand the content. Headings, paragraphs, and lists are used appropriately to organize information.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily adjust the text size using their browser settings, allowing them to customize the website to their individual needs. We have ensured that text remains readable and functional at various sizes.
• Form Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible, with clear labels, instructions, and error messages. We ensure that form fields are properly associated with their labels and that users can easily navigate and complete forms using a keyboard or assistive technology.
• Video Accessibility: Whenever possible, we provide captions or transcripts for video content, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Screen Reader Compatibility: We regularly test our website with screen readers to ensure compatibility and identify any accessibility issues. We work to address any issues promptly to improve the user experience for screen reader users.
• Skip Navigation Link: A skip navigation link is provided at the top of each page to allow users to bypass the main navigation menu and jump directly to the main content area.

Ongoing Efforts

We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. This includes regular audits, testing, and updates to ensure that our website remains accessible and compliant with the latest accessibility standards. We also provide accessibility training for our staff to ensure that they are knowledgeable about accessibility best practices.
