Accessibility Statement

Little Black Pearl Workshop is committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible. We believe everyone should be able to explore, learn from, and engage with our work with the same level of ease and dignity.

An accessible website allows visitors with disabilities to navigate content effectively using assistive technologies, including screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other accessibility tools.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility on this Site

We strive to ensure that www.blackpearl.org follows generally accepted accessibility standards and best practices. Our website is designed in alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level, where reasonably possible.

As part of our ongoing accessibility efforts, we have taken steps to:

Define clear and consistent heading structures across pages
Set the primary language of the site
Ensure logical content order and keyboard navigation
Add alternative text to images where appropriate
Use color combinations that meet contrast requirements
Reduce unnecessary motion and animations
Support accessibility for videos, audio, and downloadable files when available

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we continue to review and improve the site as new content is added.

Third-Party Content

Some pages on this site may include content from third-party platforms or services that are not fully controlled by Little Black Pearl Workshop. While we encourage accessibility across all tools we use, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content and therefore may have partial compliance on those pages.

Physical Accessibility

Little Black Pearl Workshop is committed to accessibility in our physical spaces as well. Our facilities are designed to support access for visitors with disabilities, and we continue to improve accessibility across our programs, classrooms, and public events. If you have specific access needs, we encourage you to contact us in advance so we can best support your visit.

Requests, Issues, and Feedback

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you encounter an accessibility barrier or need assistance accessing any part of the site, please let us know.

We take accessibility concerns seriously and will do our best to respond promptly and thoughtfully.
