Accessible boardwalk along the Mahone Bay waterfront
WCAG 2.1 AA

Accessibility

We want every visitor to be able to use mahonebay.com — locals and travellers alike, with or without assistive technology.

Our commitment

This site is built to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

What that means in practice

  • All text meets minimum contrast ratios against its background.
  • Every page can be navigated by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator.
  • A "Skip to content" link appears at the top of every page.
  • All non-decorative images carry meaningful alt text.
  • The interactive business directory map is paired with a list-view of the same data, so it works without sight or pointer input.
  • Motion and animation honour your prefers-reduced-motion setting.
  • Pages use semantic HTML (<main>, <nav>, <article>).
