Accessibility
Statement

Our Commitment

​

We believe in equality and are dedicated to following accessibility standards to allow all users to successfully interact with our website, poplarplace.com. We are actively working to improve the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

​

Standards We Follow

​

Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including standards for:

​

· Perceivability: Providing text alternatives for non-text content, creating content that can be presented in different ways, and making it easier to see and hear content.

· Operability: Making all functionality available from a keyboard, giving users enough time to read and use content, and not designing content in a way that is known to cause seizures.

· Understandability: Making text readable and predictable, and helping users avoid and correct mistakes.

· Robustness: Maximizing compatibility with current and future user tools.

​

Measures We Are Taking

​

To fulfill our commitment, we are taking the following measures:

​

· Ongoing Assessment: We regularly review our website using a combination of automated testing tools and manual audits to identify and fix potential accessibility barriers.

· Staff Training: Our team is educated on web accessibility principles.

· Third-Party Content: We work with our partners, including our merchandise provider Printful, to encourage accessible practices. However, we may not have full control over the accessibility of all third-party plugins or content.

· Continuous Improvement: Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We continually seek out solutions that will improve the accessibility of our site.

​

Known Limitations & Alternatives

​

Despite our best efforts, some areas of our website may have limitations. We are aware of the following and are working to improve them:

​

· Legacy PDFs: Some older event flyers or menus posted as PDFs may not be fully accessible to screen readers. We are working to replace these with accessible HTML pages or newly formatted PDFs.

· Third-Party Widgets: Embedded content from social media platforms (like Instagram or Facebook feeds) may present accessibility challenges outside of our direct control.

· Complex Visuals: We are working to ensure all infographics or heavily visual content have detailed text descriptions.

​

If you encounter any of these limitations, please contact us (see below), and we will provide you with the information you need in an alternative, accessible format.
