Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed: May 28, 2026

Our Commitment

Rio Body Wax Auburn is committed to ensuring that our website, riobodywaxauburn.com, is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or other assistive technologies.

Measures Taken

To support accessibility, we have implemented the following across our website:

• Logical heading hierarchy (h1 through h3) on all pages
• Descriptive alt text on all meaningful images
• Visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation
• Skip to main content link on every page
• Semantic HTML landmarks: header, nav, main, footer
• ARIA labels on navigation, icon-only buttons, and form fields
• Sufficient color contrast ratios meeting WCAG AA standards
• Form labels explicitly tied to their inputs
• Animations that pause on hover or focus, and respect prefers-reduced-motion
• Keyboard-operable tab interface on our Services page
• No content that flashes more than three times per second
• Unique, descriptive page titles on every page

Known Limitations

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, there are some areas that are partially or not yet fully accessible:

• Online booking system — Appointment booking is handled by Booker (MINDBODY), a third-party platform. Its accessibility is outside our direct control. If you encounter a barrier booking online, please call us at (334) 209-0306 and we will be happy to assist you.
• Google Maps embed — Our location map is an embedded Google Maps widget. For text directions, please see our Contact page.
• PDF or document downloads — If we publish any downloadable documents in the future, we will work to ensure they are accessible. Currently no downloads are offered.

Alternative Formats

If you need any information from this website in an alternative format — such as large print, plain text, or audio — please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
