Accessibility

Viento Dental Studio is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who browse with screen readers, keyboards, magnification, or other assistive technology. We treat accessibility as part of building the site, not as something added at the end.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the standard most commonly referenced under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Structure that makes sense without sight. Every page uses real headings in order, landmark regions, and lists, so screen reader users can navigate by structure instead of hunting through text.

Keyboard access throughout. Every link, button, menu, and form field can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, and the focus outline is always visible so you can see where you are.

Readable contrast. Body text, buttons, and interface elements are checked against the WCAG AA contrast ratios in both the light and dark areas of the site.

Text alternatives. Meaningful images carry descriptive alt text; decorative artwork is hidden from assistive technology so it does not add noise.

Respect for motion preferences. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site turns off its animations automatically.

Works at any size. The layout reflows down to small phones and stays usable when text is enlarged, without trapping content in horizontal scroll.

Both languages. Every page declares its language so screen readers pronounce English and Spanish correctly, and each page links to its counterpart.

The accessibility button in the lower left corner opens a small panel where you can enlarge text, raise contrast, switch headings to a plainer typeface, underline every link, and stop animations. Your choices are remembered on your device until you reset them.

We want to be straightforward about what that panel is: a convenience, not a compliance product. It does not modify the underlying page for assistive technology, and it is not a replacement for the accessible markup described above. If you use a screen reader or another assistive tool, the site is built to work properly with it directly.

We are honest about the gaps. Content embedded from third parties, such as mapping or review services, is not fully under our control and may not meet the same standard. Older blog content and any documents we publish are reviewed as we go.

We test with keyboard navigation, browser zoom, and automated checks on every release, and we are working toward broader testing with assistive technology users.

If any part of this website, or any part of visiting our office, is difficult for you to use, we want to hear about it. It is the fastest way for us to fix real problems.

Call (312) 236-1200, email Contact@VientoDentalStudio.com, or write to us at 1461 S Blue Island Ave, Chicago, IL 60608. Please tell us the page you were on and what happened. We aim to respond within two business days, and we will work with you to get the information or service you needed another way in the meantime.

If you need an accommodation for an appointment, such as wheelchair access, an interpreter, extra time, or a quieter environment, call ahead and we will arrange it.
