Accessibility

This page describes the rebuilt site. The previous site had no accessibility page, and 88 of its 94 images had no alternative text at all. This page states what is actually true of the new one, and what is not yet.

What we build to

This site is built to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA. Every page is tested automatically against that standard at three screen widths — 320, 390 and 1440 pixels — and the build is not released with a known violation outstanding.

That testing covers:

• Text contrast against its background, at AA ratios.
• Alternative text on every image. This is enforced when the site is built: a photograph added without a description fails the build rather than reaching you.
• Keyboard navigation. Every control can be reached and operated without a mouse, and the focused element is always visible.
• Tap targets of at least 44 by 44 pixels for standalone controls.
• Text that scales. Nothing here disables pinch-zoom, and the layout holds when text is enlarged.
• Headings and landmarks in a real order, so a screen reader can navigate the page by structure.

What is not done yet

Automated testing catches a great deal, but not everything. We have not yet completed a manual review with a screen reader.

Getting around the property

The verified room inventory identifies PHQQ, a two-queen room type in the hallway behind the office, as having a handicap-accessible bathroom. PHQQ is not one of the three designated pet-friendly room types.

That is the only accessibility feature the map records. It does not say whether any route, room door or the pool area is step-free, and we will not guess. Please call before booking and we will describe the property honestly so you can judge whether it suits you.

Tell us

If something here is difficult to use with a screen reader, a keyboard, or at a larger text size, please tell us on +1 (252) 441-7404 or obxml@visitobx.com. That is a fault we want to fix, not a complaint we want to manage.
