Accessibility Features
The following accessibility features have been implemented on our website:
Keyboard Navigation
All interactive elements on our website can be accessed and operated using only a keyboard. You can navigate through links, buttons, and form fields using the Tab key, and activate them using Enter or Space. Focus indicators are clearly visible to show which element is currently selected.
Screen Reader Support
Our website includes features to enhance screen reader compatibility:
- ARIA labels on icon-only buttons for clear identification

- Semantic HTML elements (header, nav, main, footer) for proper page structure
- Descriptive alt text on event and venue images
- Proper heading hierarchy for content organization
Visible Focus Indicators
All interactive elements have clearly visible focus indicators. When navigating with a keyboard, you'll see a distinct ring around buttons, links, and form fields to indicate which element is currently focused. This helps users understand their position on the page.

- All input fields have associated label elements using htmlFor attributes
- Required fields are clearly marked with asterisks and "required" attributes

- HTML lang attribute set to "en" for language identification
- Logical content flow that makes sense when read by assistive technologies
