At Bella Notte Ristorante, located in the heart of San Francisco’s vibrant North Beach neighborhood, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services online, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. This accessibility statement outlines the measures we have taken to make our website accessible and our ongoing efforts to improve accessibility further.
Bella Notte Ristorante strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a set of guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure that web content is accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities. These guidelines provide a framework for making web content more perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
Our commitment includes:
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can navigate through the site using the Tab key to move between links, form elements, and other interactive components. Shift+Tab can be used to navigate backward. Enter key activates links and buttons, and arrow keys can be used to navigate within certain components.
We have implemented several features to ensure compatibility with screen reader software, such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. These features include:
We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to read and understand the content more easily. We regularly check our website's color contrast using accessibility tools to maintain compliance with WCAG guidelines. The primary color, a rich burgundy, is balanced against a light cream background to provide both visual appeal and readability.
All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text). This alt text provides a textual description of the image, allowing screen reader users to understand the content and purpose of the image. Our alt text is concise, informative, and relevant to the context of the image. For example, an image of our Spaghetti Carbonara includes the alt text: "Spaghetti Carbonara: A creamy pasta dish with pancetta, egg yolks, and Parmesan cheese."
Users can adjust the font size of our website using their browser settings. Increasing the font size can make it easier for users with low vision to read the content. Most browsers allow users to zoom in on a webpage, increasing the size of all content, including text and images.
Our online forms, such as the contact form and reservation request form, are designed to be accessible to screen reader users. We have implemented the following features:
Currently, we do not have extensive video or audio content. However, if we add video or audio content in the future, we will ensure that it is accessible by providing captions for videos and transcripts for audio content. This will allow users who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the information.
We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. Our efforts include:
