Accessibility

We want everyone to be able to use this website, and aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

What we’ve done

The site uses semantic HTML and ARIA where helpful, supports keyboard navigation, provides visible focus styles and image alternatives, maintains AA color contrast, and respects the “reduce motion” setting.

Known limitations

No outside firm has audited this site. AA is what we build and test against, not a certificate anyone has issued us, and the list below is what we know rather than everything there is.

The maps, floor plans and charts are drawings. Each carries a written description of what it shows, but a screen reader cannot read an individual trail, room or depth off the drawing itself; where that detail matters we repeat it in the list or the prose beside it.

The trail finder and the season switcher work from the keyboard, and both now say what changed in a status message: how many trails match a filter, which trail is open, which season is showing. We have checked that the messages are written; we have not yet tried them with every screen reader, so if one stays silent for you, please tell us.

Text on the page no longer fades in as you scroll; only the drawings and photographs settle in, briefly, and not at all if your device asks for reduced motion.

Feedback

If you encounter a barrier, please email stay@lakehousekaia.com or call (347) 719-2210 and we’ll help. Tell us the page and what happened, and we will fix it and say so here.
