Accessibility

Pier 69 Market is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive digital experience that allows everyone to learn about our cafe, view our menu, and connect with us.

Our Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), provide a framework for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

Measures We Take

Our ongoing accessibility efforts include:

• Using semantic HTML to ensure proper document structure and screen reader compatibility
• Providing descriptive alt text for images throughout the site
• Maintaining sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background elements
• Ensuring all interactive elements are keyboard-navigable
• Using ARIA labels and roles where appropriate to enhance assistive technology support
• Designing responsive layouts that work across devices and screen sizes
• Respecting user preferences for reduced motion where animations are used
• Providing clear, consistent navigation across all pages

Known Limitations

While we work to ensure accessibility across our website, some areas may not yet be fully optimized. We are continuously reviewing and improving our content. Specific areas we are actively working on include:

• Ensuring all third-party integrations (such as our online ordering platform and embedded maps) meet accessibility standards
• Expanding captioning and text alternatives for any future multimedia content
