Accessibility Statement for Bella Notte Ristorante
Bella Notte Ristorante is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of disability. To ensure this, we are taking the following measures:
- Regularly auditing our website to identify and address accessibility issues.
- Training our staff on accessibility best practices.
- Using assistive technologies to test our website.
- Considering accessibility in all phases of our website development and design.
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Bella Notte Ristorante is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
Specific Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following features to enhance accessibility:
- Alternative Text: All images and non-text content have descriptive alternative text, allowing users of screen readers to understand the content. For example, an image of our Margherita Pizza is accompanied by the alt text "Margherita Pizza with fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato".
- Keyboard Navigation: The website can be navigated using a keyboard alone, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse can still access all content and functionality.
- Color Contrast: We have ensured sufficient color contrast between text and background to make content readable for users with low vision. We use CSS variables to manage these contrasts effectively.
- Clear and Consistent Structure: We use headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to organize content in a logical and hierarchical manner, making it easier for users to understand the structure of the website.
- Form Accessibility: Forms have clear labels and instructions, making them easy to understand and complete. Error messages are displayed clearly and provide guidance on how to correct mistakes.
- Resizable Text: Users can increase the text size without loss of content or functionality. This can be done through browser settings.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: The website is designed to be compatible with screen readers, allowing users with visual impairments to access and understand the content.
- Video Accessibility: Videos include captions and transcripts to provide access for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- Audio Accessibility: Audio content includes transcripts to provide access for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
