Accessibility Page for Active Health Sport
At Active Health Sport, we are committed to providing an inclusive, accessible experience for all of our users. We believe that health, wellness, and fitness should be available to everyone, and accessibility plays a crucial role in this mission. We strive to ensure that our website is accessible to individuals with a range of disabilities, in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We understand that accessibility is not just a feature—it’s a fundamental aspect of user experience. Whether you’re accessing our website from a desktop computer, mobile device, or tablet, our goal is to make it as easy as possible for everyone to navigate, explore content, and engage with the health and fitness resources we offer. This includes making sure that all content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
We are constantly working to improve the accessibility of our website, ensuring that all users, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, can benefit from the resources, information, and services provided.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
In order to ensure our website meets the needs of all users, we have implemented design principles in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines were developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure that web content is accessible to people with disabilities. We aim to follow these guidelines at all levels to provide the best possible user experience.
These guidelines are divided into four principles, which we have used as the foundation of our design efforts:
- Perceivable: Content must be presented in ways that all users can perceive, even if they have vision, hearing, or other sensory impairments. For example, all images on our site have descriptive alternative (alt) text to assist individuals who use screen readers.
- Operable: Website functionality should be operable by all users, regardless of their physical abilities. For example, we ensure that all website functions are accessible via keyboard navigation and that the website is mobile-friendly.
- Understandable: We aim to make the content on our website easy to understand, with clear navigation, concise instructions, and readable text. Our goal is to provide information that is accessible to users of all levels.
- Robust: We ensure that our website works across a wide range of technologies, including assistive devices, such as screen readers, and ensures that the content remains accessible as new technologies evolve.
Features of Our Accessible Website
We’ve taken a number of steps to ensure our website is accessible to as many users as possible. Some of the features we’ve implemented include:
- Alternative Text for Images: All visual content on our website includes alt text that describes the image or graphic. This helps individuals who use screen readers understand the context and content of images.
- Keyboard Navigation: We have optimized our site to be fully navigable using a keyboard. This means that users who cannot use a mouse can still navigate the website’s links, buttons, and other interactive elements using the keyboard.
- Color Contrast and Font Choices: To enhance readability, we use high-contrast colors and ensure our font choices are legible for users with visual impairments. Our text is resizable, and we use a simple, clear typeface to ensure that the content is easy to read.
- Video Captions: For users who are deaf or hard of hearing, all videos on our site are captioned. This allows users to access the content in an alternative format.
- Accessible Forms: We have created forms with clear instructions and accessible labeling, ensuring that all users, including those with cognitive disabilities, can easily fill them out.
- Mobile Responsiveness: Our website is designed to be mobile-friendly, which means it is accessible on smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. We have tested our site on a variety of devices to ensure users can access it regardless of how they connect.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: Our site is compatible with screen readers, which are software programs that help visually impaired users by reading text aloud. All text, forms, and navigation menus are properly structured for compatibility with these tools.
- User Control over Content: We allow users to adjust the font size and text spacing on our site for better readability. We also offer options for altering background colors to suit personal preferences.
