Accessibility Statement

Last updated: January 1, 2025

Salerno Design Studio is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We actively work to improve the usability and accessibility of salernodesignstudio.com in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

Our Commitment

We believe that good design is inclusive design. Every site we build — including our own — is developed with accessibility as a core consideration, not an afterthought. Our goal is to ensure that all visitors can navigate, understand, and interact with our content effectively.

What We Do

To support an accessible experience, we implement the following practices on this site:

• Semantic HTML — We use proper heading structure, landmark elements, and meaningful HTML tags so that assistive technologies can interpret page content correctly.
• ARIA labels — Interactive elements such as navigation, buttons, and icons include descriptive ARIA labels where native HTML labels are insufficient.
• Keyboard navigation — All interactive elements are reachable and operable via keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse.
• Color contrast — Text and interactive elements are designed to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio requirements.
• Alternative text — Images include descriptive alt text so that users relying on screen readers receive equivalent information.
• Responsive design — The site adapts to a wide range of screen sizes and zoom levels without loss of content or functionality.
• Reduced motion — Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query for users who are sensitive to motion.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, some areas of this site may not yet fully meet all guidelines. We are continually working to identify and address any gaps. If you encounter a specific barrier, please let us know so we can prioritize a fix.

Third-Party Content

This site uses third-party services such as Google Fonts and embedded typefaces that are loaded externally. These services are outside our direct control, and their accessibility may vary. We select third-party tools that have demonstrated a commitment to accessibility wherever possible.

Feedback

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of this site. If you experience any difficulty accessing content, encounter a barrier not listed here, or have suggestions for improvement, please reach out to us:

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 2 business days.

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We regularly review our site, test with assistive technologies, and update our practices as standards evolve. If you are building a site with us, accessibility best practices are built into our development process by default.
