Accessibility Statement

PKL Boston LLC is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

  • Improved Navigation: We include “skip links” (Skip to Content, Skip to Navigation) to help keyboard users quickly jump to main page sections.

  • Optimal Color Contrast: Our brand colors meet AAA standards for high contrast, making all text easy to read.

  • Descriptive Images: All non-text content, like images, includes appropriate alternative text for screen readers.

  • Clear Structure: We use proper structural markup (headings, lists, and semantic HTML) to make content easily readable and skimmable by all devices and users.

  • Usable Forms: All forms include visible labels, clear instructions, and easy-to-understand error messages.

  • Link Awareness: We provide warnings for links that open in a new tab or window.

  • Descriptive Links: All links use clear “anchor text” that explains their destination or purpose.

Where We’re Improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:

  • PDF documents are not fully screen-reader accessible
  • Our 3rd party booking form has not been tested to be accessible
  • Sourcing new accessible instagram feeds embed

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at PKL Boston a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
