Wanderlust Escapes - Accessibility Statement

Accessibility Statement

Wanderlust Escapes 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 provide a website that is inclusive and accessible.

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with all applicable standards, including WCAG 2.1 level AA accessibility guidelines.

Our ongoing accessibility effort works towards conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, level AA criteria. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conforming with these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

We strive to adhere to the following principles:

Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. This means providing text alternatives for non-text content, providing captions and other alternatives for multimedia, creating content that can be presented in different ways (for example, a simpler layout) without losing information or structure, and making it easier for users to see and hear content.
Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable. This means making all functionality available from a keyboard, giving users enough time to read and use content, not using content that causes seizures, and helping users navigate and find content.
Understandable: Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable. This means making text readable and understandable, making content appear and operate in predictable ways, and helping users avoid and correct mistakes.
Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

We understand that accessibility is an ongoing effort and are committed to regularly reviewing and updating our website to ensure it remains accessible to everyone. We conduct regular accessibility audits and testing to identify and address any potential accessibility issues.

Wanderlust Escapes is dedicated to providing equitable access and opportunity for all individuals, including those with disabilities. We recognize the importance of ensuring that our website and digital content are accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities.

This commitment to accessibility extends to all aspects of our online presence, including our website, social media channels, and other digital communications. We are constantly working to improve the accessibility of our content and ensure that it meets the needs of all users.
