ELEPHANT NY is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
1. Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.
2. Measures Taken
- Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
- Alternative text for meaningful images
- Sufficient color contrast for body text
- Keyboard navigation support
- Responsive design that works on small screens and zoomed views
- Server-side rendering — no JavaScript required to read content
3. Known Limitations
- Some legacy embedded media may lack captions or transcripts
- Decorative background images do not have descriptive alt text (by design)
- Third-party widgets may not fully meet WCAG standards
We are working to identify and address these issues progressively.
4. Compatibility
The site is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and assistive technologies (screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver).
5. Feedback
If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions, please contact:
- Email: [email protected]
- Subject line: "Accessibility Feedback"
We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days.
6. Legal Framework
While this site is not a place of public accommodation in the traditional sense, we strive to follow ADA Title III principles and Section 508 standards as a matter of inclusive practice.
