At Bokmakierie Nutrition, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a user-friendly experience that meets the needs of all our visitors. This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to improve the accessibility of our website.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are dedicated to making our website compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps to ensure that our website is accessible to everyone, including users with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Accessibility Features

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, using the tab key. We have ensured that the focus order is logical and intuitive.

Screen Reader Compatibility

We have optimized our website to be compatible with screen reader software. We use semantic HTML to provide a clear and structured presentation of content, allowing screen readers to accurately interpret and convey information to users.

Alternative Text for Images

All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text). This text provides a textual alternative to the image content, allowing users who are unable to see the images to understand their purpose and context. For example:

  • A bowl of colorful Bobotie with chutney, a popular South African dish
  • Close-up of a traditional braai with boerewors sizzling on the grill
  • Overhead view of a table set with a variety of South African fruits and vegetables

Color Contrast

We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to easily read and understand the content on our website. We adhere to WCAG guidelines for color contrast ratios.

Resizable Text

Users can easily adjust the text size on our website using their browser settings. This allows individuals with visual impairments to increase the text size to a comfortable reading level.

Clear and Simple Language

We strive to use clear and simple language throughout our website. This helps users with cognitive disabilities to understand the information presented.
