Statement
Accessibility
Costa Spirits is committed to making this site usable by everyone, including people who use assistive technology. This page describes our conformance target, the steps we take to meet it, and the path you can use to report an issue.
Conformance target
We work to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA published by the W3C. AA is the operative standard for US Section 508, the EU Accessibility Act, and most Latin-American public-sector references. Where we currently exceed AA — for example, ensuring 44×44 px touch targets across the site rather than the 24×24 minimum — we note it below as a deliberate choice, not an obligation.
How we test
Every release is exercised by keyboard only on a clean browser profile, screen-reader-checked against VoiceOver on macOS/iOS and NVDA on Windows, and run through an automated accessibility audit (axe-core) as part of CI. We also re-test against the full WCAG 2.2 AA checklist twice a year and after any change to the welcome modal, mobile navigation, or contact form — the three components that most often regress.
What works well
Site-wide skip-to-content link, locale toggle and region toggle wrapped in role=group with proper labels, every modal traps focus and restores it on close, all icon-only buttons carry an aria-label, every form input has a programmatic <label>, status messages use aria-live, the marquee pauses on hover and focus, color contrast clears 4.5:1 throughout, and animations honor prefers-reduced-motion.
Known limitations
We are aware of two open items: (1) the homepage carousel does not have an explicit pause control yet — it does honor prefers-reduced-motion. (2) The legacy admin/sales/delivery surfaces (not part of the public marketing site) have not had a full WCAG audit and are auth-gated. Neither limitation affects this public site's AA conformance.
Assistive technology support
We actively support: VoiceOver (macOS 14+ and iOS 17+), NVDA 2024+ on Windows, JAWS 2024+, TalkBack on Android, Chrome 120+ / Firefox 120+ / Safari 17+ / Edge 120+ on desktop. Browsers older than two years may render the site correctly but are not part of our test matrix.
Reporting an accessibility issue
If something on this site is hard to use with a keyboard, a screen reader, voice control, or any other assistive technology, we want to hear about it. Email accessibility@costaspirits.com or info@costaspirits.com — please include the page URL, the assistive technology and version you're using, and a one-line description. We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within two business days and to ship a fix or a workaround within ten business days.
