Our Commitment to Accessibility
We are committed to making our website and web pages easier to access.

We believe in providing equal access to information and strive to make our content usable by everyone. Our team works hard to meet and exceed accessibility standards. We welcome feedback to improve the site's usability and user experience.
Accessibility Standard Used
Lakeside Table wants to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines help make websites easier to access. These guidelines help us make sure all users can interact with our content. This includes users with different physical abilities and those using various technologies. We also strive to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to provide a universally accessible experience.
Descriptive Text for Images
We understand the importance of making our images accessible. All images on Lakeside Table include alternative text (alt text) that describes the imageโs content and purpose. This ensures that visually impaired visitors, who rely on screen readers, can still understand the context of the images. We also describe images that are part of the siteโs template. This includes icons and background images. We do this to make sure all elements are accessible.
Plain Language for Clear Communication
We use plain language throughout our blog to make sure that our content is clear and easy to understand for everyone. We avoid jargon, complex sentences, and unnecessary technical terms to ensure that our posts are readable for all audiences. We aim for a conversational tone, making it easy for anyone to follow our recipes, tips, and advice.
Sufficient Color Contrast
We make sure there is enough contrast between the text and its background. This helps users with visual impairments, including color blindness, read the content easily. Our design meets WCAG standards for color contrast. This makes sure that text is easy to read against the background for everyone.
Flexible Font Sizes
Lakeside Table is designed to be flexible with its font sizes. Our siteโs text is flexible. It changes based on your preferences. Users can make the font size bigger or smaller as needed. This ensures the content is readable across devices and by users with varying vision abilities.
Keyboard-Friendly Navigation
We have made our site keyboard-friendly, allowing users to navigate the entire site using only a keyboard. This includes using the tab key to move through links, menus, and content. This helps users with motor impairments who may not use a mouse. We test all interactive elements to ensure they are operable by keyboard alone.
Zoom-Friendly Design
To further support users with visual impairments, Lakeside Table is designed to be zoomable. You can increase the size of the page without losing any content or functionality. Our design makes sure that content stays clear and easy to read. This is true even when zoomed in on computers, tablets, or smartphones.
