Accessibility Statement

Our goal

Local Vegan Spots wants everyone to be able to find and use the directory, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, or other assistive technology.

Conformance status

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. This is our target and the standard we test against.

At this time we consider the site partially conformant: we haven’t confirmed that every page meets every Level AA requirement. This statement is a self-assessment. No independent third party has audited the site. We record the improvements we ship in the changelog below.

How we work toward accessibility

• We use clear, structured headings and page landmarks so the page is easy to navigate.
• We build interactive controls to work with a keyboard and outline the item you’re focused on.
• Images have text descriptions where they carry meaning.
• We check that text and interface colors have enough contrast to be readable.
• Animations respect your device’s reduce-motion setting.

Known limitations

Where the site can fall short:

• Search, the map, “Closest to me”, and the suggest and contact forms rely on JavaScript. Browsing by state, city, and individual listing works without it.
• When suggesting a listing, the address autocomplete is provided by Google Maps, a third-party service whose accessibility we don’t control.
• Listing details come from public data and suggestions, so some descriptions may be brief or incomplete.

If any of this stops you from getting the information you need, contact us and we’ll help you another way.

Feedback

If you run into a barrier on this site, please tell us through our contact form. Let us know the page and what happened, and we’ll do our best to fix it and to help you get what you needed.
