What Have We Done?

Avada Theme Compliance. As this site has been published in this capacity since approximately 2013. we continue to make improvements and adjustments to ensure we are within WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. 

How are We Testing?

California Patio is using a variety of testing tools including but not limited to Web Accessibility by Level Access and AC Checker. Any adjustments are made based on feedback from these tests.

How are We Doing?

Based on the latest automated scans as well as the manual inspection, the majority of errors are contrast errors and missing alt tags and Aria labels. We have identified those issues and will be addressing them in order from the front home page to the subsequent child pages as we find them. Pages that are deemed circa 2013 and pre 2020 will be review for redesign efforts as needed. Google’s Latest Accessibility scans has californiapatio.com at a score of 89%. We intend to get this into the mid to high 90’s as applicable.

An accessibility scan is done once per quarter based on the following schedule:
First quarter runs from January 01 – March 31.
Second quarter runs from April 01 – June 30.
