Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
SoCalsMedia is committed to ensuring that our website (socalsmedia.com) and digital services are accessible to all individuals, including people with disabilities. We believe that every person deserves equal access to information and functionality on the web, and we strive to provide an inclusive experience for all visitors.
2. Accessibility Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines provide a framework for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance addresses the following core principles:
Perceivable: Information and user interface components are presented in ways that all users can perceive, including text alternatives for non-text content, captions for multimedia, and content that can be presented in different ways without losing meaning.
Operable: User interface components and navigation are operable by all users, including keyboard accessibility, sufficient time to read and use content, and navigation that helps users find content.
Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface are understandable, including readable text, predictable functionality, and input assistance to help users avoid and correct mistakes.
Robust: Content is robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies such as screen readers.
3. Measures We Take
To support accessibility, SoCalsMedia takes the following measures:
We include accessibility as part of our website design and development process
We use semantic HTML markup to support screen readers and assistive technologies
We provide text alternatives (alt text) for meaningful images and graphics
We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background elements
We design interactive elements to be navigable using keyboard-only input
We use clear, descriptive link text rather than generic phrases like 'click here'
We structure content with proper headings and landmarks for easy navigation
We ensure forms include associated labels and clear error messages
We avoid content that flashes more than three times per second
We periodically review our website for accessibility using both automated tools and manual testing
4. Third-Party Content and Platforms
Our website may integrate with or link to third-party platforms and services including but not limited to social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), marketing tools (Klaviyo, ManyChat), payment processors (Stripe), scheduling tools, and video hosting platforms. While we strive to select partners who share our commitment to accessibility, we cannot guarantee the accessibility compliance of third-party content, platforms, or services that are not under our direct control.
If you encounter accessibility barriers on any third-party platform accessed through our website, we encourage you to contact both us and the third-party provider directly.
5. Known Limitations
While we work to ensure accessibility across our website, some content may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Known areas where we are actively working to improve include:
Some older media content (images, videos) may not have complete text alternatives or captions
Some PDF documents linked from the site may not be fully accessible to screen readers
Certain embedded third-party widgets or forms may have limited accessibility features
Dynamic content loaded through marketing automation tools may not always announce changes to screen readers
We are actively working to address these limitations and improve accessibility on an ongoing basis. When we identify content that does not meet accessibility standards, we prioritize remediation based on impact and frequency of use.
6. Compatibility
Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:
Screen readers (including JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack)
Screen magnification software
Speech recognition software
Keyboard-only navigation
Our website is designed to work with current versions of major web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Using older browser versions may result in reduced functionality or accessibility.
7. Feedback and Contact
