Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 8 September 2025

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Pilates by Ang is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and functionality on our website.

We are continually improving the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to all users, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use to access our content.

Accessibility Standards

Our website strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

We follow best practices for web accessibility and regularly review our content to ensure it meets these standards.

WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance

Compliance Level: WCAG 2.1 AA — Fully Compliant

Our website meets all Level A and Level AA success criteria as defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. This compliance is based on the four fundamental principles of accessibility:

  • Perceivable: Information and UI components are presentable to users in ways they can perceive
  • Operable: UI components and navigation are operable by all users
  • Understandable: Information and UI operation are understandable
  • Robust: Content can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of assistive technologies

We continuously monitor our compliance status through regular testing and stay current with WCAG guideline updates to maintain our high accessibility standards.

Accessibility Features

Our website incorporates the following accessibility features:

Keyboard Navigation

  • All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard navigation
  • Tab order follows a logical sequence through page content
  • Focus indicators are visible for all interactive elements
  • Modal dialogs include proper focus management
  • Skip navigation links are available to bypass repetitive content

Screen Reader Support

  • Semantic HTML structure provides clear content hierarchy
  • Proper heading levels (h1, h2, h3) create logical document structure
  • Alternative text descriptions for all images
  • ARIA labels and descriptions where needed
  • Form labels are properly associated with their controls

Visual Accessibility

  • High contrast color ratios meet WCAG AA standards
  • Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality
  • Information is not conveyed by color alone
  • Sufficient spacing between interactive elements for easy targeting
  • Responsive design adapts to different screen sizes and orientations

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, we are aware of some areas that may need improvement:

  • Some embedded third-party content may not be fully accessible
  • Complex animations may affect users with vestibular disorders
  • Some decorative elements may not provide complete context for screen readers

We are actively working to address these limitations and welcome feedback on any accessibility barriers you may encounter.

Testing and Validation

We regularly test our website for accessibility using:

  • Automated Testing: Tools like Lighthouse and axe-core for initial accessibility audits
  • Manual Testing: Keyboard-only navigation and screen reader testing
  • User Testing: Feedback from users with disabilities when possible
  • Code Review: Semantic HTML and ARIA implementation review
