WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT AND POLICY

Accessibility

The  Spa @ Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is committed to facilitating the accessibility and usability of the pvspa.com website for all people with disabilities.  To accomplish this, The Spa will be implementing over time the relevant portions of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 as its web accessibility standard, which will also bring pvspa.com into further conformance with the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards Developed by the United States Access Board.     

The  Spa @ Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is currently taking a variety of steps and devoting resources to further enhance the accessibility of our website.  Working with a retained accessibility consultant, we conducted a website accessibility audit and are implementing specific recommendations of the consultant to achieve substantial conformance with the generally recognized and accepted guidelines and standards for website accessibility. 

Below are some of the steps we are taking under our accessibility policy:

• Using the website evaluation tools available, such as https://wave.webaim.org  and www.ChromeVox.com, to evaluate the accessibility of our web content and assist in updating our website. 
• Including a “skip to navigation” and “skip to content link” at the top of web pages with navigation links. This feature directs screen readers to bypass the row of navigation links and start at the webpage content or start at the navigation.  Navigation links will also have a text description that can be read by a screen reader.
• New photographs, maps, graphics, forms, documents, and other images on the website will have HTML tags (such as an “alt” tag or a long description tag) with text equivalents of the material being visually conveyed.  We are also reviewing older content and continuously working to make it complaint.
• New video and audio files on the website will have audio descriptions, written captions, and/or transcripts of what is being displayed.  We are currently working to provide captions and/or transcripts for older audio and video materials as well.  
• The webpages will be designed so they can be viewed using visitors’ web browser and operating system settings for color and font.
