Our goal
Pooler Magazine aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA on this website. We do not meet that standard everywhere yet. This page lists what we have done, the problems we know about, and how to reach us if something does not work for you.
What we have in place
- Every page has a Skip to content link, page landmarks, one main heading and its own page title.
- Links, buttons and form fields show a clear outline when you reach them with the keyboard.
- Form fields on our own forms have labels, work with your browser's autofill, and mark required fields in a way screen readers can announce.
- Turn on Pause animations in the accessibility menu (the round person button at the bottom right of every page) to stop moving carousels and scrolling bands. Carousels also stop while you are using them and do not move at all if your device asks for reduced motion.
- Links that open a new tab say so to screen readers, including our social media links.
- Directory, event and news filters announce how many results they found.
- Digital magazine issues open in a reader you can use with a keyboard, and the PDF is always available to download.
Known problems we are fixing
Colour contrast. Some text and buttons in our coral and teal colours, the small coloured labels above headings, light grey captions and form field borders are below the WCAG contrast ratios. We are darkening these colours across the site.
Heading order. On some pages, including the home page, contact page, subscribe page, archive pages and article pages, heading levels skip a step, which can make the page harder to follow with a screen reader.
Missing image descriptions. About 1 in 10 images on the site has no text description yet. This includes images inside older articles and some Best of Pooler 2026 gallery photos.
Older articles. Some articles moved over from our earlier website use bold text instead of real headings, have tables without header rows, or contain empty paragraphs.
Carousels. Stopping the Home, Things to Do and Restaurants carousels with Pause animations, and their keyboard behaviour, are new and still being tested with keyboards and screen readers.
Best Of campaign pages. Two buttons on the Best of Pooler 2026 and 2027 campaign pages do not lead anywhere yet.
Account area. Some small table buttons may be below the minimum target size, the details (i) icon does not yet report whether it is open, and the count of items waiting for review is not announced to screen readers.
Forms and services from other companies. Our contact and newsletter forms come from GoHighLevel, and payment fields come from Stripe. We are checking their labels, focus order and error messages, but we cannot fully control how they work. If one of them does not work for you, contact us another way and we will help.
Magazine PDFs. Older print issues may not work well with screen readers. Ask us and we will send you the story in another format.
How we test
On October 23, 2026 we scanned the code of 28 pages at desktop, tablet and phone sizes. We still need to run browser-based automated checks, test the main tasks using only a keyboard, and test with screen readers on iPhone and Windows. We will update this statement as we fix the problems above.
Tell us about a problem
