Accessibility Statement

We want this guide readable by everyone who wants to read it, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or magnification.

Conformance target

We build toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. That is a target we work against continuously rather than a certification we claim as finished.

What we do

  • Semantic headings in document order so the structure is navigable by landmark and heading.
  • Descriptive alternative text on photography and meaningful graphics.
  • Keyboard-operable navigation, disclosure menus, map filters, and forms with visible focus.
  • Color contrast checked against AA thresholds for body text and interface elements.
  • Text that reflows without loss of content at 200% zoom and on small screens.
  • Motion kept subtle, with animation reduced when your system requests reduced motion.
  • Form fields with real labels rather than placeholder-only hints.

Known limitations

The schematic area map is a visual orientation aid. Every pin it shows is also described in prose on the relevant guide page, and the pin list is reachable by keyboard, but a spatial diagram is inherently visual. If the map is not usable for you, the neighborhood, village, parks, and restaurants pages carry the same information in text.

We also link out to county, district, and business websites whose accessibility we do not control.

Report a barrier

If any page blocks you, tell us through the contact page with the page address, the assistive technology and browser you use, and what happened. Accessibility reports go to the front of the queue, and we will offer the information in another format while we fix the underlying issue.
