Accessibility Statement for Trattoria del Sole

Trattoria del Sole is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website to provide an inclusive and seamless experience for everyone. We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Trattoria del Sole, we believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services. We are dedicated to providing a website that is usable by people of all abilities, regardless of their technology or environment. This commitment is demonstrated through our ongoing efforts to:

• Incorporate accessibility best practices into our website design and development.
• Regularly review and test our website for accessibility compliance using automated tools and manual testing methods.
• Provide training and resources to our staff on accessibility principles and techniques.
• Actively solicit feedback from users with disabilities to identify areas for improvement.

Features Implemented to Enhance Accessibility

We have implemented several features to make our website more accessible, including:

• Semantic HTML: Using proper HTML5 semantic elements to structure our content, making it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand.
• Alternative Text for Images: Providing descriptive alternative text (alt text) for all images, allowing users who cannot see the images to understand their content and purpose.
• Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring that all interactive elements on our website are fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all features.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: Maintaining sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Resizable Text: Allowing users to easily adjust the text size on our website without losing content or functionality. Most browsers offer zoom functionality that can be used to increase text size.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Providing a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
• Form Accessibility: Ensuring that all form elements are properly labeled and accessible to screen readers, making it easier for users to fill out forms.
• ARIA Attributes: Using ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of complex interactive elements and provide additional information to assistive technologies.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: Providing captions and transcripts for all video content, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Skip Navigation Link: Including a "Skip to Main Content" link to allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation and jump directly to the main content of the page.
• Responsive Design: Designing our website to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring accessibility on desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
• Dark Theme Option: Offering a dark theme option to improve readability and reduce eye strain for users who prefer dark interfaces.

WCAG and ARIA Compliance

We are committed to complying with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines provide a comprehensive set of recommendations for making web content more accessible. We also utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and advanced user interface controls.

Our accessibility efforts are guided by the following principles:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Accessibility Audits and Testing

We regularly conduct accessibility audits and testing to identify and address accessibility issues. These audits include:

• Automated Testing: Using automated accessibility testing tools to identify common accessibility issues.
• Manual Testing: Conducting manual testing with screen readers and other assistive technologies to ensure that our website is usable by people with disabilities.
• User Feedback: Soliciting feedback from users with disabilities to identify areas for improvement.
