Global Fork — San Diego, CA

Statement

Accessibility

Our commitment to making this site work for everyone. Effective 2026-04-27.

Global Fork is committed to making this website usable for as many people as possible, regardless of ability or technology. Accessibility is treated as an ongoing engineering practice, not a one-time audit.

This site is designed and built to conform with the following standards:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA — the international consensus standard for web accessibility, published by the World Wide Web Consortium.
  • Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d), which incorporates WCAG 2.0 Level AA by reference.
  • The relevant Title III provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as applied to public-accommodation websites.
  • Semantic HTML landmarks (header, nav, main, section, article, footer) on every page.
  • A “Skip to content” link as the first focusable element on every page.
  • A clearly visible keyboard focus indicator on every interactive element.
  • Descriptive alt text on content images; decorative images marked aria-hidden.
  • Forms with associated labels, required-field indicators, and appropriate autocomplete hints.
  • Tab and dialog patterns that follow the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices, including arrow-key navigation and focus management.
  • Full support for prefers-reduced-motion: every animation on the site is disabled or reduced for visitors who set that preference.
  • Mobile drawer with focus trap, scroll lock, and Escape-to-close.
  • Color contrast that meets or exceeds the 4.5:1 minimum for body text.
  • Touch targets of at least 44 × 44 CSS pixels on interactive controls.

We try to be honest about what is not yet perfect. Today:

  • The site uses a smooth-scrolling library that can interfere with the browser’s “Find in page” (Ctrl+F) feature in some browsers. The library is automatically disabled when prefers-reduced-motion is set.
  • Forms currently submit by opening your default email client. We are migrating to a hosted form handler that will keep the experience entirely in-page.
  • Some decorative animations (sun rotator, vendor “piazza walk”) are subtle on touch devices; we welcome feedback if any of them cause discomfort.
  • Automated checks with axe DevTools on every page before release.
  • Keyboard-only navigation testing on every interactive component.
  • Screen-reader passes with VoiceOver (macOS / iOS) and NVDA (Windows) on key flows: home, vendors, bookings, contact.
  • Color-contrast verification with the WCAG contrast formula against our brand tokens.

If anything on the site is hard or impossible for you to use, please tell us. We respond to accessibility reports within five business days.

Please include the page you were on, the browser and assistive technology you were using (if any), and a description of what didn’t work as expected. The more specific you can be, the faster we can fix it.

If you believe we have not adequately addressed an accessibility concern, you may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division at ada.gov/file-a-complaint.
