Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Sip Tide is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all people, including those with disabilities. We believe that every person deserves equal access to information about our services — the same philosophy that guides how we serve every guest at our events.

We are working to ensure that www.siptide.com conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Current Accessibility Features

This website has been built with the following accessibility considerations:

• Semantic HTML: Pages use proper heading structure (H1, H2, H3) to organize content logically for screen readers.
• Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements including navigation links, buttons, and form fields are accessible via keyboard.
• Color contrast: Text and background color combinations are chosen to meet WCAG AA contrast ratio requirements.
• Responsive design: The site is fully responsive and usable on all screen sizes, including mobile devices and tablets.
• Link clarity: Links are descriptive and indicate their destination or purpose.
• Form labels: All form fields include visible labels to assist screen reader users.
• Language declaration: Each page declares its language (English) in the HTML tag.
• Skip navigation: We are in the process of implementing skip navigation links to allow keyboard users to bypass repeated navigation.

Images and Media

We are in the process of adding descriptive alt text to all images on the site. Where images are purely decorative, they are marked appropriately so screen readers can skip them. If you encounter an image without adequate description, please let us know.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, we acknowledge that some areas of the site may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are actively working to identify and address these issues. Known areas of ongoing improvement include:

• Image alt text coverage as new photos are added
• Focus indicator visibility on all interactive elements
• ARIA landmark regions across all pages

Third-Party Content

Some content on our website is provided by third-party services (such as embedded maps or social media content). We cannot fully control the accessibility of third-party content, but we work to use platforms that prioritize accessibility where possible.

Physical Accessibility at Events

In addition to our website, we are committed to physical accessibility at the events we serve. If you have specific accessibility needs related to our bar setup, service style, or event logistics, please let us know when you reach out and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you experience any barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us. We take all accessibility feedback seriously and will respond within 5 business days.

Formal Complaints

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We conduct periodic reviews of our website and update our practices as standards evolve. This statement will be updated to reflect any improvements or changes to our accessibility status.
