Alam Podiatry, PC is dedicated to ensuring our podiatry services and digital experiences are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. We believe that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort, and independence.
1. Our Commitment
We are actively working to ensure that our website, alampodiatry.com, is accessible to the widest possible audience, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments. We view accessibility as an ongoing effort, not a one-time project.
2. Guidelines and Standards
This website endeavors to conform to Level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2). These standards define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for all people.
3. Measures We Have Taken
To ensure accessibility, we have implemented the following technical measures on our site:
- Semantic HTML: We use correct coding structures (headings, lists, landmarks) to support screen readers.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our site is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone (tabbing) without requiring a mouse.
- Color Contrast: We strictly maintain high contrast ratios between text and background colors for readability.
- Alt Text: Meaningful images include descriptive alternative text (alt tags) to assist visually impaired users.
- Resizable Text: The site layout accommodates browser zooming up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
4. Third-Party Limitations
While we strive to adhere to accepted standards, our website utilizes third-party tools to improve patient experience. We cannot fully control the accessibility of these external tools:
- Booking Engines: Third-party scheduling tools (e.g., Zocdoc).
- Maps & Directions: Interactive maps (e.g., Google Maps) used for our locations.
- Social Media: Feeds or widgets from platforms like Instagram or Facebook.
Crucial Note: If you encounter difficulty using any of these third-party tools, please contact our office directly. We are happy to provide the same information or transaction via telephone.
