Accessibility

Our commitment

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the standard widely referenced under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we keep working to improve it as the site grows.

What we’ve done

• A skip-to-content link and a clear, consistent heading structure on every page.
• Full keyboard access to menus, forms, and buttons, with a visible focus outline.
• Text and interface colors chosen to meet AA contrast on our warm palette.
• Labeled form fields, with errors announced to assistive technology.
• Reduced-motion support, so animations quiet down if your device asks for it.
• Descriptive alternative text for images that carry meaning.

How we test

We review the site with automated tools and by hand, including keyboard-only navigation and screen-reader checks, and we re-check pages when we add or change them.

Where we’re still improving

A few full-screen photographic sections place large, decorative type over imagery for a cinematic feel. We’re reviewing these to be sure nothing essential depends on them alone, and the underlying information is available in plain text elsewhere on the page. If any part of the site is hard to use, we want to hear about it.
