Accessibility Standards
A Cedar Spoon aims to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user-friendly for everyone.
Some of the steps we have taken or are working toward include:
- Ensuring text alternatives for non-text content, such as images and icons
- Making our site navigable with a keyboard
- Improving color contrast and font legibility
- Using clear and consistent site structure with proper heading levels
- Making content adaptable and distinguishable
- Supporting screen reader technology through semantic HTML
- Responsive layout for ease of use on mobile and tablet devices
Accessibility Tools
We utilize accessibility enhancements, such as:
- An accessibility toolbar to adjust font size, spacing, contrast, and cursor options
- Automated scanning tools to regularly test the site for potential issues
- Manual audits and review of new content for accessibility before publishing
Ongoing Efforts
Accessibility is not a one-time project, but an ongoing effort. We regularly review our website-both manually and with automated tools-to identify and correct accessibility barriers as they arise. As technology and standards evolve, so too will our efforts to maintain a fully accessible experience.
We also engage in staff training to raise awareness about accessibility and best practices for content creators.
Third-Party Content
While we aim to ensure accessibility throughout all areas of our website, some third-party integrations or plugins (such as embedded videos, recipe cards, or ads) may not be fully accessible or may be outside our control. We are actively exploring alternatives and ways to improve user experience wherever possible.
