What we've done
- Photos that carry meaning have text descriptions written from what's in them. Old newspaper ads are described too, including the words that matter.
- A "Skip to the meat" link, headings and landmarks for moving around with a keyboard or screen reader, and a visible focus outline.
- Pages reflow on phones and when zoomed. The page itself doesn't scroll sideways down to 320 pixels wide. A few rows are meant to: the steak photos on the home page, and the film strip and old ads on The Story.
- Animation switches off if your device asks for reduced motion. The neon is just on.
- The site works without JavaScript. The order form is checked on our server, and it tells you in words what to fix and keeps what you typed.
- The phone number is real text and a tap-to-call link, on every page.
Known limits
- Handwriting. Red pencil notes and hand-lettered cards are decoration in a hard-to-read style. The plain words are nearby or available to screen readers.
- The phone dial. The dial on the home page is an illustration, and its small letters are hard to read on a phone. It's labeled as a call link, and the number sits next to it in large type.
- Old ads. Newspaper scans are pictures of old type. We describe them, but you can't select their text.
- Other companies. YouTube videos, Google Maps and reviews, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok are outside our control.
- No outside audit. We've tested this site ourselves. It hasn't had an independent accessibility audit.
