Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

this store is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.

This online ordering platform is powered by Per Diem, and we work together to make this website as accessible and usable as possible for all people, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define 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.

This website strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for web accessibility and is the widely accepted benchmark for ensuring digital accessibility.

Accessibility Features on This Website

We have implemented the following measures to ensure accessibility:

• Keyboard Navigation: All functionality is operable through a keyboard interface. Users can navigate through interactive elements using Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, and Arrow keys.
• Skip Navigation: A “Skip to main content” link is provided as the first focusable element on each page, allowing keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation content.
• Semantic HTML: We use proper semantic HTML elements (headings, landmarks, lists, buttons, links) to ensure that assistive technologies can accurately interpret and present content.
• Alternative Text: All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are appropriately marked to be ignored by assistive technologies.
• Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements so keyboard users can always see which element has focus.
• Color and Contrast: We strive to maintain sufficient color contrast ratios for text and interactive elements. Information is not conveyed through color alone.
• Reduced Motion: We respect the “prefers-reduced-motion” operating system setting to minimize animations for users who are sensitive to motion.
• Responsive Design: The website is designed to be responsive and functional across a range of devices and screen sizes.
• ARIA Attributes: Where native HTML elements cannot fully express the interaction pattern, we use WAI-ARIA attributes to provide additional context to assistive technologies.
• Form Accessibility: Form inputs include associated labels, clear error messages, and appropriate autocomplete attributes to aid users in completing orders.

Standards and Guidelines

This website aims to comply with the following:

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Title III of the ADA requires that places of public accommodation, including websites and online ordering platforms, be accessible to individuals with disabilities.
