Our commitment to accessibility
At Aesthetics & Beauty Lounge, we are committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities. We aim to provide a user-friendly, inclusive online experience in line with best practices and recognised standards.
We endeavour to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) wherever practicable as part of our ongoing efforts to improve accessibility.
What we’ve done so far
Here are some of the measures we have taken to enhance accessibility:
-
Use of semantic HTML (e.g. headings, lists, ARIA roles) to improve screen reader navigation
-
Alt text / descriptive text on images, icons, and non-text content
-
Keyboard navigability across menus, links, and interactive elements
-
Sufficient contrast between text and background colours
-
Logical focus order and visible focus indicators
-
Resizable text (without breaking the layout)
-
Skip navigation link to allow users to bypass repetitive content
-
Accessible forms (labels, fieldsets, error messages)
-
Ensuring links and buttons have meaningful text (not just “click here”)
-
Use of accessible font sizes, line spacing and spacing for readability
-
Testing with browser tools and automated accessibility scanning
Known limitations & ongoing work
Despite our efforts, there may be areas where the website does not yet fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards. Some examples (these may or may not apply to your site — customise accordingly):
-
Some older PDF or downloadable files may not be fully accessible
-
Some third-party content (e.g. embedded widgets) may not comply with all accessibility requirements
-
Video content uploaded before [date] may lack captions or transcripts
-
Occasional layout or styling issues on very narrow or unusual screen sizes
We are continuously working to address these issues. We review and update our website regularly, and plan to prioritise fixes for the most impactful barriers first.
