The Azuki Room is committed to making theazukiroom.com accessible to all visitors, regardless of ability or assistive technology. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, in line with the UK Equality Act 2010 and the European Accessibility Act 2025.
What we have done
- Semantic HTML landmarks (header, main, footer, nav) on every page.
- Skip-to-content link as the first focusable element.
- Visible keyboard focus indicators with a 2px outline at 3:1 contrast.
- Reduced-motion support: animations are disabled when your browser signals
prefers-reduced-motion. - Colour palette tested for AA-level contrast on body text and interactive elements.
- Form labels, ARIA descriptions, and error messages on the newsletter signup.
- Logical heading hierarchy on every page.
- All decorative images marked as such; meaningful images carry alt text.
- The site works on screen readers including VoiceOver, NVDA, and TalkBack.
Known limitations
We are aware of the following items that fall short of our target standard, and we are working to fix them:
- Some hero photography on interior pages is currently rendered from placeholder images while the new restaurant photography is finalised.
- The OpenTable reservation widget on the reservations page is a third-party embed. Its accessibility is governed by OpenTable. If you have trouble using it, you can book directly by emailing or calling us.
Testing
We test every release with a combination of keyboard-only navigation, automated audits (Lighthouse, axe-core), and manual screen reader passes. Automated tools catch around half of accessibility issues, so we also rely on real-user feedback. Our last full audit was on 2 May 2026.
If something is not working for you
We want to hear from you. If a page is hard to use, a control is unreachable by keyboard, or a screen reader is reading something incorrectly, please get in touch. We aim to respond within five working days.
