Accessibility Statement

Ongoing Commitment

Palladian Arthouse is committed to ensuring that our website, palladianarthouse.com, is accessible to all people, including individuals with disabilities. We are actively working to improve the accessibility of this Site in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

As an event venue classified as a public accommodation, we take our digital accessibility responsibilities seriously — not only as a legal matter, but because we believe every guest deserves a welcoming experience, online and in person.

Our Current Accessibility Features

The following accessibility features have been implemented on this Site:

• Descriptive alt text: All images on the Site include descriptive alternative text that conveys the meaning and context of each image to screen reader users.
• Semantic HTML structure: The Site uses proper HTML heading hierarchy (H1–H3), landmark elements, and semantic markup to help screen readers and assistive technologies navigate content.
• Keyboard navigation: Core interactive elements including navigation links, form fields, and call-to-action buttons are accessible via keyboard without requiring a mouse.
• HTTPS and secure form submission: All data submitted through our contact form is transmitted securely over HTTPS.
• Language declaration: The Site declares lang="en" in the HTML element to assist screen readers with correct pronunciation.
• Skip to main content: A skip navigation link is available on this page to allow keyboard users to bypass repeated navigation elements.
• Responsive design: The Site is designed to reflow and remain usable at different viewport sizes and zoom levels up to 200%.
• Readable typography: Body text meets or approaches WCAG 2.1 AA contrast standards against the dark background. Minimum font sizes are maintained throughout.

Known Limitations

We are aware that this Site may not yet fully meet all WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria. Known or potential areas we are continuing to improve include:

• Focus indicator visibility across all interactive elements in all browsers
• Color contrast ratios for certain decorative text elements styled in gold on dark backgrounds
• ARIA landmark labels on some page sections
• Accessibility of third-party embedded content including the 360° virtual tour (hosted by visitme.co) and PDF documents hosted on SharePoint

We are committed to addressing these issues through ongoing site improvements. If you encounter a specific barrier, we encourage you to contact us directly — we will do our best to provide the information you need in an accessible format.
