Accessibility

16th Street wants everyone to be able to use this website. We build toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, and we treat accessibility as part of the work, not a feature added at the end.

What we do

• Pages are built with semantic structure, so headings, landmarks, and lists mean what they say to assistive technology.
• Everything on the site can be reached and operated with a keyboard, with a visible focus indicator.
• Images that carry meaning have text alternatives.
• Text and interface colors are chosen for contrast against the dark background.
• Animation respects your system’s reduced-motion setting. Turn it on and the site simply shows its content.

Where we are

We test with automated tools and by hand, and we fix what we find. A site is never finished being accessible, so this statement describes a practice, not a trophy.

Tell us what isn’t working

If something on this site is hard to use with your assistive technology, we want to know. Start the conversation and describe what happened and where. A person will read it and respond.
