Accessibility
Last updated April 2026
We want staycapeann.com to be usable by everyone who wants to visit Cape Ann, including people who rely on assistive technologies. This page outlines where we are, what we are working on, and how to tell us when we fall short.
What we aim for
We design and build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. That means:
- Text that can be resized and remains readable.
- Images with meaningful alt text.
- Keyboard-navigable menus, forms, and booking flows.
- Color contrast that meets or exceeds AA requirements.
- Semantic HTML and ARIA labels where they help.
- Screen reader support across the main booking path.
Where we are
This site is a small, actively maintained project. Most of the site meets WCAG 2.1 AA today, and we test with keyboard-only navigation and screen readers as part of our release process.
If you find something that does not work for you, that is a bug, not a feature. Please tell us.
Known limitations
- Our interactive map uses third-party tiles that we do not fully control for accessibility. A text-based list of homes by town is available on the collection page.
- A small number of listing photos use captions rather than alternative text. We are backfilling these.
Alternative ways to book
If any part of the booking flow is not working for you, email or call us and we will book the stay for you directly:
Send us feedback
We want to hear about it when the site does not work for you. Tell us what page you were on, what you were trying to do, and what assistive technology (if any) you were using.
