Limitations and alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of Sloppy Joe’s Website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for Sloppy Joe’s Website:

  • Events Calendar: Our website is built using the content management system, WordPress. The events calendar plugin used on our website has some links that are missing text. Because the events calendar is a third-party developed tool and we do not have the capability to have these removed. We have reached out to the third-party developer and have made them aware of the ADA non-compliance issue. These are empty links that do not provide any user benefit but wanted our users to know this..
  • Live Webcams: The live webcams on our website are not closed captioned, because there is not a technical means possible to have live webcams captioned. When technology becomes available to have live video captioned for streaming webcams, we will embark on its integration.
  • Virtual Tour
  • alternative text contains image file name
  • order of headings is not correct
  • empty link
  • empty heading
  • duplicate values of type ID
  • incorrect child element in list
  • name of link can not be programmatically determined
