1. Introduction

El Aguila Supermarket, Inc. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all of our users.

We believe that everyone should be able to access our website and online services, regardless of ability. This Accessibility Statement outlines our ongoing efforts to make our website accessible and usable for all visitors, including those using assistive technologies.

Our Commitment: We are dedicated to maintaining a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We actively work to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.

2. Accessibility Features

Our website incorporates the following accessibility features to ensure equal access for all users:

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements on our website can be accessed and operated using a keyboard. Users can navigate through the site using Tab, Enter, and arrow keys without requiring a mouse.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with popular screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. We use semantic HTML and ARIA labels to ensure screen readers can interpret content correctly.

Color Contrast

We maintain a minimum color contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, ensuring that content is readable for users with low vision or color blindness.

Form Labels

All form fields have associated labels that clearly describe the information being requested. Error messages are programmatically associated with form fields and provide clear guidance for correction.

Skip Navigation Links

A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive navigation and go directly to the main content.

Alt Text for Images

All meaningful images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and purpose of the image. Decorative images are marked appropriately to be skipped by assistive technologies.

Responsive Design

Our website uses responsive design principles, allowing content to adapt to various screen sizes and orientations. Users can zoom in up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

Clear Navigation

We provide consistent navigation throughout the website with clear headings, landmarks, and a logical reading order to help users understand where they are and find information easily.

Additional Accessibility Features

  • Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators are present on all interactive elements when navigating via keyboard.
  • Link Text: Links use descriptive text that indicates the link's destination, avoiding vague phrases like "click here."
  • Heading Structure: A logical heading hierarchy is maintained on all pages to facilitate navigation and understanding.
  • Language Declaration: The primary language of each page is declared in the HTML code to assist screen readers in pronunciation.
  • No Time Limits: Our website does not impose time limits on reading or completing forms.
