We are dedicated to making the Your Choice Nutrition website accessible and user-friendly for all visitors. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, including individuals with disabilities, can access and navigate the website with ease. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to comply with best practices and standards.

Testing and Maintenance
We regularly test the Your Choice Nutrition website for accessibility using a combination of manual and automated testing tools. We work to identify and address any issues that may arise, but accessibility is an ongoing process. As we update and improve the website’s content, we will continue to monitor its accessibility and make adjustments as needed.
Legal Compliance
Your Choice Nutrition aims to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable accessibility laws. While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, it is important to note that the web is constantly evolving, and some technical constraints or limitations may arise from time to time. If you experience any barriers, we encourage you to contact us so that we can address your needs.
Relevant Plugins
To enhance accessibility, we use various plugins and technologies that support compliance with accessibility standards. These include, but are not limited to:

- WP ADA Compliance Check Basic: A tool to ensure our website meets accessibility standards through ongoing testing.
We regularly review and update these plugins to enhance accessibility.
Content Considerations
We make every effort to ensure that the content we publish on Your Choice Nutrition is accessible. Our content team follows best practices for writing and designing content that is easy to read and navigate. Key considerations include:
- Headings and Structure: We use proper heading structure (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to provide a logical flow of content that is easily navigable by screen readers and other assistive technologies.
- Clear and Simple Language: We prioritize clear, concise, and simple language to make information easier to understand.
- Video and Audio: We provide closed captions for videos when possible, and transcripts for audio content are available for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- Links and Buttons: All links and buttons are descriptive, indicating their function or the destination, so users know what action will be taken when clicked.
At Your Choice Nutrition, we are committed to continuous improvement in providing an accessible digital experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback on how we can further enhance accessibility, we would love to hear from you.
