WCAG Compliance Statement

Rise Walk & Shine INC. is committed to meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which are internationally recognised standards for accessible digital content.
 

These guidelines are built around four key principles. We aim to ensure our website is:

  • Perceivable — Information is presented in ways users can see, hear, or otherwise sense.

  • Operable — Users can navigate and interact with the site using different methods (keyboard, screen readers, etc.).

  • Understandable — Content is clear, readable, and predictable.

  • Robust — Content works across assistive technologies, browsers, and devices.
     

How We Work Toward WCAG 2.1 AA

We take the following steps to align with WCAG:

  • Use of descriptive alt‑text for images

  • High‑contrast colours and readable fonts

  • Keyboard‑accessible navigation

  • Clear headings and logical page structure

  • Accessible form labels and instructions

  • Mobile‑responsive design

  • Avoiding flashing or seizure‑triggering content

  • Testing with automated accessibility tools
     

Known Limitations

Some content may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA due to:

  • Third‑party widgets or embedded content

  • Older PDFs or documents

  • User‑generated content

  • Platform limitations within Wix

We are actively working to improve these areas.
 

Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and update content to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
