Accessibility

Our commitment

We treat accessibility as part of building and maintaining this website, not as a separate task. Whenever a page is added or the design changes, we check that the content can still be read with a screen reader, used with a keyboard and enlarged in the browser. This statement covers the pages published under redstarwave.com.

Known limitations

Some pictures are general illustrations with a short alternative text rather than a full description.

Feedback

If you encounter a barrier on this website, or cannot obtain information that you require, please inform us by email at [email protected] or by telephone on (401) 414-3201. It helps if you identify the page, describe what happened and mention the browser or assistive technology you were using. We aim to respond within five working days.

Standards

Our target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. We describe the site as partially conformant, because some pages or elements still fall short of individual success criteria. Pages are reviewed regularly and problems are corrected as they are found; until then the same information is offered in another form.

What we do

Pages are built with semantic HTML: headings follow a single order, lists are marked as lists and links say where they lead. Navigation and content form separate regions, the language of each page is declared, and informative images have alternative texts while decorative ones are marked as such.

Colours are selected so that body text, links and buttons maintain a contrast ratio of at least 4.5 to 1 against their background. Font sizes are expressed in relative units, so that text can be enlarged in the browser without content being cut off. Links, menus and form fields can be operated using the keyboard alone.

Information in another form

This website is not the only way of obtaining information from redstarwave. You can telephone us on (401) 414-3201 during normal business hours, write to [email protected] or send a letter to 214 Wickenden Row, Providence 02903. Where a page is not accessible to you, we will read the information out by telephone or supply it in plain text form.

Preparation and review

The present statement was prepared on October 17, 2026 on the basis of our own internal assessment. We inspected the principal page types with a keyboard, at an increased zoom setting and with a screen reader; no external audit was commissioned. The statement is reviewed once a year and after any substantial change to the website.
