Edwardo's Natural Pizza is committed to making this website accessible to all users.

Our Commitment

Edwardo's Natural Pizza is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Measures Taken

To support accessibility, this website includes the following features:

  • Semantic HTML5 landmarks (header, main, nav, footer, section, article)
  • Skip-to-content link at the top of every page for keyboard users
  • All images include descriptive alt text
  • Logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) on every page
  • Color contrast ratios meeting or exceeding 4.5:1 for all text (WCAG AA)
  • Keyboard-navigable interactive elements (links, buttons, form controls)
  • Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
  • No information conveyed by color alone
  • ARIA labels and roles used where standard HTML semantics are insufficient
  • Navigation menu keyboard-accessible with Escape-key close functionality
  • FAQ accordion implemented with native <details>/<summary> — natively accessible
  • Tap-to-call phone number on all pages (<a href="tel:...">)
  • All external links include rel="noopener noreferrer" and descriptive aria-label attributes
  • Tables include proper <th> headers and <caption> elements
  • Language declared with lang="en" on the HTML element
  • Static, server-rendered HTML — all content is present in the HTML source without requiring JavaScript

Known Limitations

We are aware of the following limitations and are working to address them:

  • Third-party ordering platform (Toast): The online ordering system is provided by Toast and is subject to their accessibility standards. We encourage Toast to maintain accessibility compliance but cannot directly control their platform. Call (312) 337-4490 to order by phone as an alternative.
  • Google Maps embed: The embedded map on the Location page is provided by Google. A direct link to Google Maps is provided as an alternative.
  • Images: We are in the process of adding real photography to this website. All placeholder and final images include descriptive alt text.
