Our Commitment to Accessibility

Wanderlust Escapes is dedicated to meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

Our goal is to ensure that our website is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features to enhance the accessibility of our website:

• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to interpret and navigate our website.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and purpose of the image to users who cannot see them. For example, the image of the Santorini landscape is described as "Picturesque view of Santorini, Greece, with white buildings and blue domes overlooking the Aegean Sea."
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device to access all content and functionality.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make our content readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
