Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on 9\22\2025.

We at Essendi Pathways are working to make our site EssendiPathways.com accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines and made the site accessible to the level of AA compliance — the most widely recommended standard for most businesses. This means our site is designed to work with assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice control software, and keyboard navigation.

What We’ve Done
To support an inclusive online experience, we have:
Identified and Fixed Issues: Used accessibility tools and audits to find and address potential barriers.
Language Settings: Set the primary language of the site for compatibility with assistive technologies.
Content Order: Organized page content in a logical order for smooth navigation.
Heading Structure: Defined clear heading hierarchies across all pages.
Alternative Text: Added descriptive alt text to images so they can be understood by screen readers.
Color & Contrast: Selected colors and contrasts that meet recommended accessibility standards.
Reduced Motion: Minimized use of motion and animation where possible.
Accessible Media: Ensured that videos, audio, and downloadable resources are accessible.
Ongoing Commitment
Accessibility is an ongoing effort for us. We regularly review our website to maintain and improve accessibility.
If you experience any difficulty accessing content or using this site, please contact us at essendipathways@gmail.com so we can assist you and continue improving your experience.

Partial Compliance Statement

At Essendi, we strive for full accessibility across our entire website. However, some pages include content provided by third-party services, which we cannot fully control. The accessibility of these pages depends on the accessibility of those third-party platforms.

Specifically, the following pages are affected:

Services/Classes – contains the Mindbody booking widget
Checkout/Payments – uses Stripe for secure payment processing
Home and Contact pages – may include embedded social media feeds (Instagram, Facebook)

Because we cannot modify the code or features of these third-party tools, we declare partial compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA standards for these pages.

If you experience difficulty accessing any of this content, please contact us at essendipathways@gmail.com. We will be happy to assist you and, when possible, provide an accessible alternative.

Accessibility arrangements in the organization

Physical Accessibility

Essendi currently operates entirely online and does not have a physical office or public location. All coaching sessions and services are provided virtually through accessible video platforms.

If we host future in-person sessions or events, we will ensure they are held in accessible locations and provide details here in advance.

For any questions about accessibility or to request accommodations for a future event, please contact us at essendipathways@gmail.com
