Accessibility Statement

Last updated: March 2026

Our Commitment

Dartmouth Live is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.

What We Do

  • Semantic HTML — we use proper heading structures, landmarks, and labels throughout the site
  • Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements can be accessed using a keyboard
  • Colour contrast — text and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast requirements
  • Responsive design — the site works on all screen sizes, from mobile phones to desktop computers
  • Reduced motion — animations are disabled for users who have set a preference for reduced motion in their device settings
  • Form labels — all form fields have clear, associated labels
  • Focus indicators — visible focus styles on interactive elements for keyboard users

Known Limitations

We are continually working to improve accessibility. Some areas we are aware of and working on include:

  • The monthly calendar grid view may be difficult to navigate with a screen reader — we recommend using the list view for the best experience
  • Some third-party content (such as embedded Stripe payment forms) may have accessibility limitations outside our control
