Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

At Kreative Playground, we believe that exceptional design is inherently inclusive design.

 

Accessibility isn't just a compliance checkbox for us—it's a fundamental principle that drives every creative decision we make.

As a creative agency serving businesses across Ontario and beyond, we recognize that accessibility and creativity are inextricably linked.

 

Great design considers every user's needs, abilities, and preferences. When we create accessible experiences, we're not limiting our creativity—we're expanding it to reach and serve a broader audience more effectively.
 

We recognize that digital accessibility is an ongoing journey, not a destination. That's why we strive to meet evolving accessibility standards and user needs.

We're proud to be part of the movement toward a more inclusive digital landscape, where everyone can access information, engage with content, and connect with businesses regardless of their abilities.
 

This commitment extends beyond our own website to every project we undertake for our clients. We do our best to integrate accessibility into our design process from day one, helping businesses create digital experiences that welcome all users while meeting Ontario's Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requirements and international WCAG standards.

How We Make Our Site Work for Everyone

Our website incorporates numerous accessibility features designed to create an inclusive experience for all users.

 

These features work together to ensure that regardless of how someone accesses our content—whether through a screen reader, keyboard navigation, voice commands, or other assistive technologies—they can fully engage with our services and information.

Navigation and Structure
Logical Heading Structure:
Our content follows a hierarchical heading structure (H1, H2, H3) that screen readers can use to understand page organization and allow users to jump between sections efficiently.

Consistent Layout:
Navigation, search functions, and key features appear in the same location across all pages, creating predictable user experiences.

Visual Accessibility
High Contrast Design:
We have designed our website using the color contrast requirements.

Scalable Text:
Users can increase text size up to 200% without loss of functionality or content. Our responsive design adapts smoothly to different zoom levels and screen sizes.

Alternative Text:
Every image includes descriptive alt text that conveys both the content and purpose of the image. Decorative images are marked appropriately so screen readers skip them.

Color Independence:
We never use color alone to convey important information. Links are underlined, form errors include icons and text, and important buttons have additional visual indicators.

Interactive Elements
Form Accessibility:
Our form fields include clear labels, helpful instructions, and descriptive error messages. Required fields are clearly marked, and we provide format examples for complex inputs like phone numbers or dates.

Link Clarity:
All links include descriptive text that makes their purpose clear even when read out of context. We avoid generic phrases like "click here" or "read more" in favor of specific, meaningful link text.

Button Design:
All buttons meet minimum size requirements (44x44 pixels) for easy activation and include clear labels that describe their function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Accessibility

How do I navigate your website using only a keyboard?
You can navigate our entire website using keyboard shortcuts. Press Tab to move forward through interactive elements, Shift+Tab to move backward, Enter to activate links and buttons, and the arrow keys to navigate within menus. We include "skip to main content" links at the top of each page—press Tab when the page loads to access these shortcuts.

What screen readers work best with your website?
Our website is compatible with all major screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver (Mac/iOS), TalkBack (Android), and Narrator (Windows). We regularly test with these technologies to ensure optimal performance. If you encounter any issues with your preferred screen reader, please contact us.


Can I increase the text size without breaking the layout?
Yes! You can zoom up to 200% or adjust your browser's text size settings without losing any functionality or content. Our responsive design adapts to different text sizes and zoom levels. Most browsers allow you to increase text size using Ctrl and + (or Cmd and + on Mac).
