Accessibility Statement
At First Home Voyages, we are committed to making our services and products accessible to everyone. We have a website accessibility team and are continuing to improve our website to make it easier for persons with disabilities to use. We are also trying to meet evolving accessibility standards, including those outlined in 36 CFR Parts 1193 and 1194 (January 18, 2017). We are committed to making our website accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities. We believe in access to knowledge, no matter the user’s physical barrier. We are designing our website to be accessible to impaired users to navigate, understand, see, and interact. We strive to implement the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA (“WCAG 2.0 AA”), and EN 301 549 to the best of our ability.
Here are a few of the improvements we are currently making to our website:
Language Tagging: Each page on our website is compatible with language information-assist systems, including audible speak-back software and Braille translators. You can use these forms of information to assist you on any page on our site. We are also working to provide sign language interpretation and prerecorded audio content in synchronized media as an alternative to text.
More Label Tags: We have more labels and titles to make it easier to find things and to use fewer keystrokes to navigate our website.
Image Text Alternatives: We have added missing label tags on images throughout our website to make it easier for persons with visual or cognitive disabilities to find information on our site. We are working to have a corresponding image for every page on our website that you can use as an alternative to text. We are making every reasonable effort to make the images functional so you can quickly find the content you are looking for. We are also making it possible to find content without having to distinguish among colors.
Easier Keyboard Access: We have made it easier to use the keyboard on our website, a functionality we will continue to improve so that you can find what you are looking for more easily.
Re-Sizing Text: To make our website more user-friendly, we are making it easier to change the text size, font style, and space between lines. Large-scale text and images will have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1. We also add a zoom feature to make images even larger when needed. Video and Audio Controls: We add easy-to-find controls for prerecorded audio and visual content. Partial Conformance where Full Accessibility is Not Possible. Some of the pages on our website may not conform fully to existing accessibility standards if accessibility support does not exist. For such pages, if any, every effort is made to make them conform to existing guidelines. Such partial non-conforming content may exist, for example, where a third party has contributed non-conforming content.
Web Accessibility Partner: We have a web accessibility partner who works with our web accessibility team to update our website and content and integrate new apps and releases that will make it easier to use our services and products. We are committed as a company to working with our partner to make our website more accessible to everyone.
Future Changes: In order to increase the accessibility of our services and products to everyone, we are committed to following the evolving standards for accessibility and will continue to work with our accessibility partner to upgrade our existing legacy system to make it better. We at First Home Voyages provide access to knowledge, no matter what sort of physical barrier a user may have. We are continuing to design our website to be accessible to impaired users in navigating, understanding, seeing, and interacting with a website. We want impaired users to contribute to making our website better for all. Please be aware that our efforts are ongoing. If you find that something on our website is not accessible, we welcome your concerns, questions, and suggestions. Please contact us at your earliest convenience using the support links below.
