Accessibility Statement
Last audited: February 2026
Compliance Status
WCAG 2.1 Level AA Compliant
This website has been audited and remediated to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA conformance level.
1. Our Commitment
A Prime Dinners is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.
2. Standards We Follow
This website has been developed and tested against the following accessibility standards:
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility and the standard referenced by the U.S. Department of Justice as the benchmark for ADA compliance.
- ADA Title III — Americans with Disabilities Act, Title III (Public Accommodations).
- Section 508 — Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, applicable to federal and federally-funded entities.
3. Accessible Features
The following accessibility features have been implemented across all pages of this website:
- Keyboard Navigation — All interactive elements (links, buttons, form fields, tabs) are fully operable via keyboard. Tab order follows a logical reading sequence.
- Screen Reader Support — Semantic HTML5 elements (nav, main, header, footer, section) and ARIA attributes are used throughout to ensure screen readers can accurately interpret and announce all content.
- Skip Navigation — A "Skip to main content" link is provided as the first focusable element on every page, allowing keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive navigation.
- Color Contrast — Text and interactive elements meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and UI components).
- Focus Indicators — All interactive elements display a visible focus indicator (gold outline) when navigated via keyboard.
- Form Accessibility — All form fields have associated labels, required fields are marked with aria-required, and error messages are programmatically associated with their fields using aria-describedby and aria-invalid.
- Image Accessibility — All informational images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images and icons are marked with aria-hidden="true" to prevent screen reader clutter.
- Reduced Motion — The site respects the prefers-reduced-motion media query. When a user has indicated a preference for reduced motion, all animations and transitions are disabled.
- Landmark Regions — Every page includes proper landmark elements (nav, main, footer) to enable efficient navigation by assistive technologies.
- Descriptive Page Titles — Each page has a unique, descriptive title that identifies the page content and the site name.
- Language Attribute — The lang="en" attribute is set on the html element of every page.
- Responsive Design — The site is fully functional at 200% zoom and across all viewport sizes without loss of content or horizontal scrolling.
4. Why We Fix Code, Not Use Overlays
A Prime Dinners does not use accessibility overlay widgets or toolbars. Accessibility overlays add a JavaScript layer over existing HTML but do not fix underlying accessibility issues. Screen readers and other assistive technologies still encounter the same barriers beneath the overlay.
Instead, we fix accessibility directly at the source code level — in the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — to provide genuine, durable compliance that works reliably with all assistive technologies.
5. Audit Methodology
This website was audited using the following methodology:
- Manual Code Review — Every HTML page, CSS stylesheet, and JavaScript file was reviewed for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, including semantic structure, ARIA usage, color contrast, keyboard accessibility, and focus management.
- Keyboard Testing — Full keyboard-only navigation testing across all pages, interactive elements, and forms.
- Screen Reader Compatibility — Tested for proper announcement of landmarks, headings, form labels, buttons, links, and dynamic content changes.
- Color Contrast Analysis — All text and UI component colors verified against WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios.
- Responsive and Zoom Testing — Verified at 200% browser zoom and across mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports.
6. Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, the following limitations exist:
- Google Maps Embed — The embedded Google Map on the Locations page is a third-party iframe. While we have added a descriptive title attribute to the iframe, the interactive map content itself is controlled by Google and may have its own accessibility limitations. A text-based list of all service areas is provided alongside the map as an accessible alternative.
- Third-Party Chat Widget — If a chat widget is present, it is provided by a third-party service whose accessibility is managed by that provider.
