Accessibility

We want everyone planning a trip to Panama to be able to use this site, whatever device, browser or assistive technology they use. Our goal is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

How to tell us about a barrier

If something on the site doesn’t work for you, or you need information in another way, please tell us. Email info@panamaunpacked.com, or call or message Jack at 646-262-3283 (WhatsApp) or Shlomo at 905-471-7501 (WhatsApp). Tell us the page and what happened, and we’ll help you directly while we fix it. You can also make any request by phone instead of through a form.

What we do

  • The menus, filters, hotel picker, photo viewer and forms work with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline and a “Skip to content” link on every page.
  • Text and controls meet the WCAG AA contrast ratios, and buttons and menu links on phones are at least 44 pixels tall.
  • Pages work from narrow phones (320 pixels wide) to large screens without sideways scrolling.
  • Images have text alternatives; decorative ones are hidden from screen readers.
  • The promo film has no speech. Next to it, a written description says what the film shows and what text appears on screen. Sound plays only when you press play or open a clip, and video previews and autoplay stay off when your device asks for reduced motion.
  • Prayer and Shabbat times say they are in Panama time, on the page and in the header’s Shabbat button (its tooltip and its name for screen readers).
  • Form fields have visible labels.
  • Maps are always alongside a full list of the same places.

How we test

Our automated tests run the axe accessibility checker on twelve of our page templates, at phone and desktop widths, and fail on any serious or critical issue. Other tests work through the menus, the hotel picker and the photo viewer with the keyboard alone. Before a release we also check page widths from 320 to 1440 pixels.

Known gaps

  • We have not yet completed a full manual review with screen readers (VoiceOver on iPhone and NVDA on Windows). It is planned; until then, some parts may read less clearly than they should.
  • Some pages link to other organizations’ sites (synagogues, restaurants, airlines and hotels), and we can’t vouch for their accessibility.
