We at Vino Needle are working to make our site accessible to people with disabilities.
Our Commitment
At Vino Needle™, we believe wine should be effortless — and so should exploring our website.
Brooke LLC is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including individuals with disabilities.
We strive to make VinoNeedle.com accessible and usable by everyone, regardless of device, technology, or ability.
Our goal is to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
VinoNeedle.com has been designed and built with the following accessibility features in mind:
-
Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are reachable and usable via keyboard.
-
Text Alternatives: All images, icons, and functional graphics include descriptive alt text.
-
Readable Typography: High-contrast text, resizable fonts, and legible typefaces across devices.
-
Color & Contrast Compliance: Design tested for sufficient contrast ratios for readability.
-
Headings & Structure: Proper heading hierarchy (H1–H6) and ARIA labels for screen readers.
-
Form Labels: All input fields and forms include programmatically associated labels and instructions.
-
Video & Audio: Multimedia content includes captions, transcripts, or descriptive text where applicable.
-
Error Prevention: Clear instructions and visible focus indicators for all input or navigation actions.
-
Responsive Design: Mobile-friendly layouts optimized for assistive technology such as VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS.
We also conduct regular manual and automated accessibility testing using industry tools (e.g., WAVE, Axe, and Lighthouse).
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We routinely review new pages, features, and updates to ensure they maintain accessibility standards.
If a third-party plugin or platform used on our site (such as Wix apps, Stripe checkout, or embedded social media content) does not fully meet accessibility standards, we work with those providers to improve usability or offer accessible alternatives.
Brooke LLC will continue to train staff and contractors to follow best practices in web accessibility and inclusive design.
