Accessibility Statement
Ballyliffin Golf Club is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability, technology, or environment. We aim to ensure that our website is inclusive and usable for all visitors.
Accessibility Standards
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. We are committed to delivering digital accessibility for all users and this website has been developed in line with recognised Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These standards have guided our approach to design, content, and functionality, helping us create an experience that is as inclusive and user-friendly as possible for everyone. We will continue to maintain and enhance the accessibility of this website as part of our ongoing commitment to digital inclusion.What We’ve Done
- Semantic HTML is used throughout to support assistive technologies such as screen readers.
- All images and non-text content include meaningful alternative text.
- All interactive elements (links, buttons, and form controls) are operable using a keyboard alone.
- Headings are structured in a logical and hierarchical order.
- Colour contrast meets or exceeds minimum requirements for readability.
- Form fields include accessible labels, instructions, and error messaging where applicable.
- No content flashes in a way that could cause seizures or physical discomfort.
- The website is regularly monitored using a combination of manual checks and automated accessibility tools.
Non-accessible Content
The content listed below is not fully accessible for the following reasons:- Course Simulation Videos: The videos present a 3D hole-by-hole simulation of the golf course, conveying important visual information that is not otherwise described. While the current videos do not include captions or audio descriptions, we are actively working to ensure that future updates and new video content include these accessibility features to support users with visual or hearing impairments.
- Gift Cards and Vouchers: Gift cards and vouchers are managed through GiftUp, an external third-party platform. Some parts of this external purchasing experience may not meet the same accessibility standards as the main Ballyliffin Golf Club website. While this platform is outside our direct control, we will continue to monitor its accessibility and encourage improvements where possible. If you experience any difficulty purchasing a gift card or voucher, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
