Accessibility Statement

Rocktails Bars on Wheels

About

Rocktails Bars on Wheels, is committed to providing a website and in‑person services that are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability, technology, or environment. We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA and to continuously improve digital and physical accessibility across our experiences.

Scope

This statement covers all web content served on rocktailsbrands.com and barsonwheels.com (including any sub‑pages and subdomains). BarsOnWheels.com currently redirects to RocktailsBrands.com; as Bars On Wheels content is rebuilt, it will also follow this statement.

Conformance status

  • We are working toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance.

  • Given the variety of content (including legacy media and third‑party embeds), our websites partially conform at this time. We are actively auditing and remediating issues as they are discovered.

Measures we take

  • Accessibility is included in our design, content, and engineering workflows.

  • We run routine manual reviews with keyboard‑only navigation and screen reader spot‑checks (e.g., NVDA, VoiceOver).

  • We use automated testing tools during development to flag common issues (contrast, labels, landmarks, focus order).

  • Team members receive periodic accessibility training and checklists.

Features you can expect

  • Keyboard‑friendly navigation, visible focus indicators, and a “Skip to content” link.

  • Text alternatives for meaningful images and media; decorative images are marked to be ignored by assistive tech.

  • Readable structure using headings, lists, and ARIA landmarks.

  • Color and contrast designed to meet WCAG AA where feasible.

  • Resizable text and reflow: pages remain usable at 400% zoom without loss of content or functionality.

  • Forms with associated labels, clear instructions, descriptive errors, and accessible validation messages.

  • Media accessibility: captions/transcripts provided or available on request for marketing videos and audio where we control the player.

  • Motion/animation kept to a minimum; any essential motion avoids flashing and respects user “reduced motion” settings.

Known limitations and planned improvements

We value transparency. You may encounter the following while we complete remediation:

  • Legacy images/videos from earlier Bars On Wheels content that lack descriptive alternative text or captions.

  • Occasional third‑party widgets (social media feeds, maps, booking/payment tools) that we do not control and which may present accessibility gaps.

We are updating legacy assets, adding captions/transcripts, improving link text, and refining keyboard focus order across templates.

Third‑party content

Our sites may include content or functionality from third parties (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, payment/booking providers). While we cannot dictate their accessibility, we select vendors with better accessibility track records when possible and escalate issues to them when identified.

Event & mobile‑bar accommodations (Bars On Wheels)

  • For on‑site services, we collaborate with hosts and venues to help ensure accessible setups, including:

  • Clear paths to service areas and counter heights that consider wheelchair users (or alternative service methods).

  • High‑contrast signage, large‑print menus (available on request), and contactless payment options.

  • Availability of straws and non‑alcoholic options.

If you need an accommodation for an event (e.g., large‑print or braille menus), please contact us at least 7 days in advance so we can coordinate with the venue.

Feedback & contact

Your feedback helps us improve. If you encounter an accessibility barrier on our sites or at an event, please contact us:

  • Email: info@rocktailsbrands.com

  • Phone: 513-825-7555

Please include the page URL or event details, the issue you experienced, and your assistive technology or browser if applicable. We aim to respond within 2 business days.

Formal complaints

If you believe we have not adequately addressed your concern, you may be able to pursue remedies under applicable laws in your jurisdiction. In the U.S., information is available from the U.S. Department of Justice ADA Information Line. This statement is not legal advice.

Technical compatibility

Our sites are designed to work with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and on modern operating systems (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android). We strive for compatibility with assistive technologies such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.

Assessment approach

We assess accessibility through a mix of automated tests, manual audits, and user feedback. Tools and techniques may include: keyboard‑only testing, screen reader spot‑checks, contrast analysis, semantic HTML/ARIA review, and automated scanners during CI.

On going

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We will update this statement as our sites, services, and standards evolve.
