At On nature, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that the internet should be available to any person, regardless of circumstance or ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities.
Key Accessibility FeaturesWe have implemented several tools and design choices to improve your experience:
- Keyboard Navigation: Our site can be navigated using a keyboard (Tab, Enter, and Arrow keys).
- Alt Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for all essential images.
- Color Contrast: We use high-contrast color schemes to ensure text is legible against background colors.
- Consistent Structure: We use proper HTML headings and landmarks to help screen reader users navigate the page layout.
- Scalable Text: Users can zoom in on our content up to 200% without loss of functionality or “breaking” the layout.
Assistive Technology CompatibilityOur website is designed to be compatible with the most common assistive technologies, including:
- Screen Readers: Such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.
- Magnifiers: Built-in browser zoom and dedicated magnification software.
- Speech Recognition: Software that allows for hands-free navigation.
Current Status and LimitationsWhile we strive for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, we acknowledge that some parts of our website may still have accessibility gaps. We are currently working on:
- Improving the closed captioning on older video content.
- Auditing third-party widgets (like maps or social media feeds) that we do not have direct control over.
We Value Your FeedbackWe are always looking to improve. If you encounter any accessibility barriers or have suggestions on how we can improve our site’s usability, please let us know.
