General

At Destination Mermaids, we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to everyone, regardless of technology or ability. We strive to create an inclusive digital experience for all of our visitors, and we have taken steps to ensure that our website meets recognized accessibility standards and guidelines.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Our website conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These guidelines are established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and are recognized as the international standard for website accessibility. We have implemented various accessibility features and enhancements to make our website more usable and accessible for people with disabilities.

Accessibility Features

We have made significant efforts to ensure that our website is fully accessible to all users. Some of the accessibility features and enhancements we have implemented include:

  • Using clear and consistent heading structure to aid in navigation
  • Providing text alternatives for all non-text content, such as images and videos
  • Ensuring that color contrast between text and background meets WCAG standards
  • Using descriptive link text that clearly communicates the destination of the link
  • Using descriptive and meaningful labels for form elements
  • Ensuring that all form elements are accessible through keyboard navigation
  • Using descriptive and meaningful page titles
  • Regularly reviewing and updating our website to ensure continued compliance with accessibility guidelines

Our Ongoing Commitment to Accessibility

Destination Mermaids continues its efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of its site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible and unhindered use also for those of us with disabilities.

Despite our efforts to make all pages and content on Destination Mermaids fully accessible, some content may not have yet been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards, and the fact that these guidelines and standards are constantly changing. This may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.

We are committed to ongoing improvement of our website’s accessibility features and will continue to make enhancements to ensure our website remains accessible for everyone. Our goal is to provide a website that is easy to use and accessible to all.

We hope this statement helps demonstrate our commitment to website accessibility and provides useful information to our visitors. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.
