What works, and what still doesn't

The website

This site is built to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. In practice that means the following are deliberate rather than accidental:

• Every text colour was checked against its background; body text sits at 6:1 or better and the smallest text at 4.5:1 or better.
• Gold is used for decoration, borders and large display type — never for small body text, where it would not pass.
• Everything works from the keyboard, with a visible gold focus ring that is never removed.
• The mobile menu traps focus while open, closes on Escape, and returns focus to the button that opened it.
• Answers in accordions are real content in the page, so they are findable with Ctrl+F and readable without JavaScript.
• Animation is suppressed entirely for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion.
• The active page is marked with an underline as well as a colour change, so it does not rely on colour perception.
• Text reflows to 320px and can be zoomed to 200% without content being lost.
• Tap targets on phones are at least 44px, and the booking bar reserves its own height so it never covers the end of a page.

Known limitations

• The map on the contact page is an embedded Google Maps frame. Its accessibility is Google's, not ours. The full address and a directions link sit next to it in plain text, so nothing is only available inside the map.
• Some photographs illustrate a technique rather than carry information. Their alt text describes what is shown, which is useful but cannot fully replace seeing it.
• The site has not yet been tested end to end with a screen reader by a person who uses one daily. That is the next thing on this list.

The studio itself

Physical access matters more than the website for most people who need it.

• There is step-free access from the street and from the parking area.
• There is an accessible bathroom.
• The treatment couch can be lowered.
• There is parking, including accessible spaces.
• A companion or carer is welcome to stay in the room with you.

If you need to be certain about something specific — a transfer height, a wheelchair with unusual dimensions, a door width — call (858) 354-0717 before you travel and we will check it against the actual room rather than guess. Finding out at the door is far worse than asking first.
