Umami Haven is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users. We believe that our website should be accessible to people of all abilities, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

Umami Haven has taken the following measures to ensure accessibility:

• Including accessibility throughout our design and development processes.
• Providing training on accessibility standards to our content authors and website developers.
• Performing regular accessibility audits and testing, both automated and manual.
• Using semantic HTML to ensure clear structure and navigation.
• Providing alternative text for all images and non-text content.
• Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background colors.
• Making our website navigable using only a keyboard.
• Designing forms that are accessible and easy to use.
• Offering a consistent and predictable navigation experience.

Accessibility Features on Umami Haven

Umami Haven incorporates several features to enhance accessibility for all users:

• Semantic HTML Structure: We use semantic HTML5 elements such as <header> , <nav> , <main> , <article> , and <footer> to create a clear and logical structure for our content, improving navigation and readability for screen reader users.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt attributes) that convey the content and function of the image to users who cannot see them. This helps ensure that all users can understand the information presented visually.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated entirely using a keyboard, allowing users with motor impairments to access all content and functionality without relying on a mouse.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that all text on our website has sufficient contrast against its background color, meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. This makes our content easier to read for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings without losing content or functionality. This allows users with low vision to customize the text size to their individual needs.
• Form Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible, with clear labels and instructions that are properly associated with form fields. This ensures that users of all abilities can easily complete and submit forms.
• Consistent Navigation: We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout our website, making it easy for users to find the information they need, regardless of which page they are on.
• Dark Mode Toggle: Users can switch to a dark mode theme for improved readability in low-light conditions, providing a more comfortable browsing experience.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional semantic information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of interactive elements and dynamic content.
• Clear and Simple Language: We strive to use clear and simple language throughout our website, making our content easier to understand for all users, including those with cognitive disabilities.
