Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on 01/09/2025.

Southampton Food is committed to making our website and content accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of ability or technology.

We aim to follow best practices for accessibility and usability, and to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA where possible.

How We Make Our Site Accessible

We have taken the following steps to improve accessibility:

Built the website on Wix, which provides accessible templates and features.
Use clear headings, alt text for images, and descriptive link text.
Avoid relying only on colour to convey meaning.
Maintain good contrast between text and background.
Ensure the site is usable with screen readers and keyboard navigation.
Test content on different devices and browsers.

Where We’re Still Improving

We know there may be areas that aren’t yet fully accessible. For example:

Older content and blog posts may not always meet the same accessibility standards.
Third-party plugins, widgets, or embedded content (such as maps, Instagram posts, or videos) may not be fully accessible.

We are continuously working to improve these areas.
