Our commitment to accessibility
POM Dental Hygiene Studio is committed to ensuring our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that a truly welcoming dental practice begins with a welcoming digital experience.
We are working to meet or exceed 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 for people with a wide variety of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
Measures we take
To support accessibility, we have taken or continue to take the following steps:
- Provide alternative text for images
- Use semantic HTML to support screen readers
- Maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background
- Ensure the site is navigable by keyboard
- Test the site with assistive technologies
- Review accessibility regularly as we update content
Known limitations
Despite our efforts, some content on our website may not yet be fully accessible. Areas we are actively working to improve include:
- Third-party embedded content (such as our booking system) that we do not directly control
- PDF documents, which we are working to make fully accessible or replace with HTML versions
- Any video content, which we aim to caption going forward
We welcome feedback about these limitations and are committed to addressing them.
Alternative formats and accommodations
If you are unable to access any content on our website or need information in an alternative format, please contact us. We are happy to assist you by phone, email, or in person. We can:
