Accessibility Adjustments

Accessibility Statement

salcaboverde.com is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We continuously work to improve the accessibility and usability of our website so that everyone can access information about Sal Island, Cape Verde, regardless of technology or ability.

Conformance status

We aim to follow the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). While we strive to improve accessibility across the website, some content may not yet fully conform to these guidelines.

Measures taken to support accessibility

To improve accessibility, salcaboverde.com includes both built-in design practices and an assistive accessibility tool.

OneTap Accessibility Widget

This website uses the OneTap Accessibility Widget (free version) to provide users with additional control over how content is displayed. The widget is available via an on-screen accessibility icon and may offer the following options (depending on browser and device):

Increase or decrease text size
Adjust line height and letter spacing
Change color contrast (e.g. high contrast or grayscale modes)
Highlight links and headings
Enable readable font mode
Pause animations and flashing elements
Improve focus visibility for keyboard navigation

The OneTap widget is intended as a supportive aid and does not replace proper semantic structure, accessible design, or full WCAG compliance.

Additional accessibility practices

Clear and consistent page structure
Logical heading hierarchy for screen readers
Alternative text for images where available
Keyboard-accessible navigation for core content
Responsive layout for mobile, tablet, and desktop devices
Plain language used for informational content

Limitations and known issues

Despite ongoing efforts, some accessibility limitations may remain:

Older content may not fully meet current accessibility standards
Third-party embedded content (such as maps, videos, or external services) may have accessibility limitations beyond our control
Automated accessibility tools, including widgets, cannot resolve all accessibility barriers

We continue to review and improve the website to address these issues where feasible.

Feedback and contact

If you encounter accessibility barriers on salcaboverde.com or need information in an alternative format, please contact us. We welcome feedback and will make reasonable efforts to respond.
