Statement prepared: August 12, 2026
Stews Barbershop is committed to making our website welcoming and usable for all of our customers, including people who use assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice recognition software, or keyboard only navigation. We want everyone who visits our Site to be able to find our locations, learn about our services, and get in touch with us without unnecessary barriers.
Conformance Target
We aim for this website to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, a widely recognized standard for web accessibility. We treat this as an ongoing goal rather than a one time achievement, and we work to improve accessibility as we update the Site.
Measures We Have Taken
To support accessibility, we have taken steps that include:
- Adding descriptive alt text to images so screen reader users understand what is shown
- Using a semantic, logical heading structure so pages are easy to navigate and understand
- Writing descriptive link text rather than generic phrases like “click here”
- Ensuring the Site can be navigated using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse
- Reviewing color and text contrast throughout the Site to help ensure readability
Known Limitations
While we strive to make our own Site accessible, appointment booking is handled through Square Appointments, a third party platform that opens when you click our booking link. That platform is built, hosted, and maintained by Square, and its accessibility is governed by Square’s own practices and policies rather than ours. If you experience difficulty using Square’s booking pages, we encourage you to contact us directly so we can help you schedule an appointment another way.
