ACCESSIBILITY POLICY
Commitment to Inclusion
At Dotti Feedor, we believe the After-Hours Sweet Parade should be welcoming to everyone. We are committed to making our digital festival accessible, ensuring that visitors of all abilities can navigate the Flavor Route and interact with our content comfortably and independently.
Structural and Navigational Accessibility
Semantic HTML
Our platform is built using semantic HTML5 code. This ensures that assistive technologies, such as screen readers, can accurately interpret the layout and purpose of different page elements.
Logical Heading Structure
We maintain a strict and logical heading hierarchy (H1 through H6) across all internal posters and main stages, allowing visitors to comprehend the page organization and jump to relevant sections easily.
Navigation Accessibility
Our main navigation and footer menus are structured as clear, predictable links. The architecture of the site ensures consistent navigation paths throughout your visit.
Visual and Interactive Design
Keyboard Navigation and Focus Indicators
All interactive elements, including the Cookie Settings toggle, Message Kiosk form, and navigation links, are operable via a keyboard. We employ visible focus indicators so keyboard users can easily identify their current position on the page.
Text Readability and Contrast
Our typographic choices feature modern, legible fonts. We carefully test the contrast between text and background colors within our vibrant festival palette to ensure high readability for visually impaired visitors.
Scalable Text
The website utilizes relative sizing units, meaning you can scale text up or down using standard browser controls without breaking the editorial layout of the page.
Content and Media
Alternative Text
We provide descriptive alternative text (alt text) for all meaningful images, such as the sculptural sugar-glass installations and festival logos, ensuring screen reader users receive a complete artistic context.
Accessible Buttons and Descriptive Links
Buttons and text links are clearly labeled to describe their purpose and destination (e.g., "Enter Candy Slot", "View The Flavor Route"), removing ambiguity from your navigation experience.
Form Accessibility
Where forms exist, such as our Message Kiosk, we utilize explicit label elements bound to their corresponding input fields, ensuring full compatibility with assistive devices.
Reduced Reliance on Animation
To support users with vestibular sensitivities, our design language relies on striking structural layout rather than heavy motion or flashing animations.
Responsive Adaptability
Responsive Design and Mobile Accessibility
The digital environment fluidly adapts from large desktop monitors down to mobile screens. Touch targets are appropriately sized, and the layout repositions intuitively to preserve a high standard of accessibility on touch devices.
Ongoing Improvements and Limitations
Ongoing Accessibility Improvements
Accessibility is a continuous journey. We regularly review our codebase, test new features, and refine our festival grounds to enhance the digital experience for everyone.
Known Limitations
While the website wrapper and editorial content are highly accessible, the third-party game frame (Candy Slot) operates within an iframe. Depending on the external provider, the game's internal canvas may have inherent accessibility limitations for screen readers. We recommend contacting us via the Message Kiosk if you encounter specific barriers.
