Accessibility Statement for Bella Notte Ristorante
Bella Notte Ristorante is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to all users. This accessibility statement describes our ongoing efforts to ensure our website conforms to accessibility standards.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a set of guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. These guidelines outline four main principles: content must be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
Our accessibility efforts include, but are not limited to:
- Providing alternative text for images and other non-text content.
- Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
- Using clear and simple language.
- Making our website navigable using a keyboard.
- Structuring content using semantic HTML elements.
- Providing captions and transcripts for video and audio content where applicable.
- Regularly testing our website for accessibility issues using automated tools and manual reviews.
Accessibility Features Implemented
To enhance the accessibility of our website, we have implemented the following features:
- Alternative Text: All images and other non-text elements have descriptive alternative text, enabling screen readers to convey the meaning and purpose of these elements to users with visual impairments.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device to access all content and functionality.
- 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.
-
Semantic HTML:
We use semantic HTML elements (e.g.,
<article>,<nav>,<aside>) to structure our content, providing a clear and logical organization that is easily understood by screen readers and other assistive technologies. - Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size using their browser settings without losing content or functionality.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
- Forms and Labels: All form fields are properly labeled and provide clear instructions, ensuring that users can easily complete and submit forms.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
Conformance Status
We are committed to making our website conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We regularly monitor our website for accessibility issues and are actively working to address any issues that are identified. While we strive for full conformance, there may be instances where some content or features do not fully meet accessibility standards. We are committed to addressing these issues as quickly as possible.
