Accessibility
We want our website to be easy to use for as many people as possible, whatever their abilities, including people who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.
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 usable. We consider accessibility when we add or change pages, designs and content.
Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, and we review the site from time to time to find and fix problems. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, colour contrast analysers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.
Testing tools
The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:
A keyboard-accessible link is designed to help users bypass navigation menus and jump directly to the main content.
We have manually adjusted our colour palette, including our professional certification badges. We aim for text and background colours with enough contrast to be easy to read.
We work towards making the site usable with a keyboard alone.
We have removed image filters from logos and branding to help icons stay crisp and recognisable for users with low vision.
We use proper heading structures (H1, H2, etc.) to help screen readers logically “map” our pages for users.
In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:
We are currently optimising our mobile sliders and carousels to ensure all buttons have sufficient spacing for users with motor impairments.
We are working to ensure that all third-party widgets and integrated photos are served with appropriate descriptions and dimensions.
This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at Sunlit Path a welcoming and enjoyable one. Some content and tools on our site come from third parties, such as booking and review widgets. We can’t control how accessible they are, but we’ll pass on any problems you report.
We welcome comments, questions, and feedback on our website. If you are using assistive technologies and are having difficulty using our website, please email admin@sunlitpath.com.au or give us a call at 07 5327 3495. We will do our best to assist you and resolve issues.
