Accessibility
brightkioskstage.hair should be usable by as many visitors as possible, including people who zoom the page, use a keyboard, or rely on a screen reader. This statement describes what the website aims to do, where limits remain, and how to comment. It does not claim a formal certification.
Commitment
Salon information is only useful if you can actually read it. We design with strong colour contrast between text and background — ivory on deep plum, charcoal on champagne, ivory on terracotta — rather than pale grey on white. Headings are kept to practical sizes so they remain readable on a telephone. Body text uses a generous line-height.
Measures taken on the site
- A skip link lets keyboard users pass the repeating header and reach the main content.
- Pages use a single language attribute (English) and descriptive titles.
- Images include alternative text that describes the photograph, not a generic “image” label.
- Buttons and links are visible, with focus styles that are not removed.
- The mobile navigation button exposes an expanded state and controls the menu.
- Form fields on the contact page have associated labels. Required fields are marked in the markup.
- Cookie controls are buttons with text, not colour-only icons, and the banner can be revisited from Cookie Settings.
- Text can be enlarged with browser zoom without relying on an inaccessible image of the words.
- Moving decorative motion is limited; there is no auto-playing video with sound.
Salon visits
This page is about the website. The physical salon on Schlossstraße, Sachsen, Germany, is a working studio with chairs, mirrors and a treatment room. If you need a quieter time, a particular chair, or information about steps or door width, describe that in your enquiry or speak with the team in person when you arrive. We do not invent an access audit of the building on this page.
Known limitations
Photographs of salon work cannot be fully replaced by text; alternative text is provided, but the visual detail of a haircut is still visual. Some images are requested from an external photography network and may load more slowly on a limited connection. Third-party font files may not follow the same contrast decisions as our own style sheet if a browser override is in play. Older browsers that do not support current CSS layout may stack sections rather than showing the intended two-column view — the content remains present.
The enquiry form does not send to an email address, because none is published. That is a service limitation, not an accessibility feature. Keyboard users can still complete every field and read the on-page confirmation.
Compatibility
Pages are intended to work with current versions of major browsers on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile, and with operating-system zoom and reduced-motion settings where the browser exposes them. We test layouts so text does not overflow its container at common widths and so faces in photographs are not cropped by careless object positioning when the screen narrows.
Feedback
If a part of the site is difficult to use, describe the page, the device, and what you were trying to do. Use the contact form for a written note, or visit Schlossstraße, Sachsen, Germany. We cannot offer a dedicated telephone accessibility line on this website because no telephone number is listed.
Standards we have in mind
The practical aim is alignment with common expectations in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) for perceivable, operable, understandable and robust content: text alternatives, keyboard operation, clear language, and markup that assistive technology can interpret. This is an ongoing effort, not a claim that every criterion has been independently audited.
