Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Ambrosia Key West website, there may be some limitations. Our website is built using the content management system, WordPress. Plugins are third-party developed tools and we do not have the capability to have these fixed. We have reached out to the third-party developer and have made them aware of the ADA non-compliance issue.

Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed.

  • Non-text Content

Images on pages are missing alt text.

  • Info and Relationships

Carousels need to have previous, next, play, and pause buttons.

The email address and zip code fields need labels.

The user hears email star but does not know what the star means.

  • Meaningful Sequence

The privacy/terms ReCAPTCHA is read after the newsletter form but before the Find Us.

  • Identify Input Purpose

The email and zipcode fields should use the HTML 5.2 autocomplete attributes.

  • Content on Hover or Focus

Images get focus when a user navigates to them via keyboard or screen reader. However, there is no way to use the escape key to go back to the main content.

  • Link Purpose (In Context)

User listening on screen reader hear https://www.ambrosiakeywest.com slash number for the carousels.

  • Focus Visible

The slideshow area and button to scroll back up to the page are not visible when tabbed over.

None of the navigation, images, or form fields are focus visible.

  • Error Identification

If a user does not fill in the fields as expected or makes an error, they get a popup box noting the errors. However, the default is that the OK button is hightlighted, so a non-sighted user does not know where the errors are. The alert box should read from the top of the box down when the focus is on the popup.

  • Missing form label
  • Missing alternative text
  • Empty link
  • Empty button
  • Linked image missing alternative text
  • Document language missing
