Accessibility Statement

Introduction

Victoria Sportelli is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We strive to make our online content and services available to the widest possible audience, in accordance with applicable accessibility guidelines and standards.

My Commitment

I am dedicated to providing an inclusive online experience for all visitors. To ensure accessibility, I follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. I continually work to enhance the user experience and remove barriers that may prevent equal access.

Accessibility Features On My Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

  • My website design has a mobile-responsive version with appropriately sized tap-targets.
  • I have thoughtfully selected a font that has marked differences in commonly ambiguous characters, such as the number 1, lowercase l, and uppercase I.
  • Navigational aids are provided on all pages. Skip navigation links have been incorporated to facilitate keyboard navigation and to bypass content on a page, allowing users to jump directly to the primary navigation, main content, and footer.
  • All images and other non-text elements have appropriate alternative text associated with them.
  • Structural markup to indicate expected section containers, headings, lists, and buttons has been provided to make my content more understandable and “skim-able” by all users, regardless of device.
  • Forms are associated with labels and instructions on filling in forms are available, along with clearly understandable error states.
  • Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA)  screen-reader only text is present when links, buttons, icons, or images require additional context to understand their meaning.
  • A warning is provided before links open in a new tab or window.

Ongoing Enhancements

I recognize that accessibility is an ongoing commitment. I am continually working to improve my website. My team regularly reviews and updates our content, design, and functionality to meet evolving accessibility standards.
