Our Commitment to Web Accessibility

Viceversa Miami is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility, users can manually toggle these features:

  • Seizure Safe Profile: Eliminates flashing lights and reduces color intensity to prevent triggers.

  • Vision Impaired Profile: Enhances visuals by increasing saturation and contrast.

  • ADHD Friendly Profile: Reduces distractions and provides focus tools to help with concentration.

  • Cognitive Disability Profile: Simplifies the interface to help with focus and comprehension.

  • Keyboard Navigation (Motor): Optimizes the site for users who cannot use a mouse.

  • Blind Users (Screen-reader): Adjusts the site’s code to be more compatible with screen-reading software.

  • Text Scaling: Users can increase or decrease the font size for better legibility.

  • Readable Font: Converts the website’s text to simpler, more accessible fonts (like those designed for Dyslexia).

  • Highlight Titles & Links: Adds borders or backgrounds to clickable elements and headings so they stand out.

  • Text Magnifier: Enlarges text when the user hovers over it.

  • Adjust Line Height & Letter Spacing: Increases white space to prevent “crowding” of text.

  • Contrast Modes: Offers High Contrast, Dark Contrast, or Light Contrast options.

  • Monochrome: Strips all color from the site for a grayscale view.

  • Saturation Levels: Allows users to set High or Low saturation depending on their visual comfort.

Where We’re Improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:

  • Alt-Text for Images: Ensuring all meaningful images have descriptive alternative text for screen-reader users.

  • Keyboard Navigation: Fixing “focus traps” and ensuring every interactive element (links, buttons, and forms) can be accessed using only a keyboard.

  • Heading Structure: Reorganizing page headers (H1 through H6) to ensure a logical information hierarchy for assistive technologies.

  • Color Contrast: Adjusting background and foreground color ratios to meet the minimum requirements for users with low vision.

  • Form Labels: Adding explicit labels and error instructions to all contact forms to ensure they are easy to navigate and submit.

  • Link Clarity: Replacing vague “click here” links with descriptive text that explains the destination.

  • ARIA Attributes: Implementing Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) labels to provide extra context to screen readers where standard HTML is insufficient.

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at Viceversa Miami a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
