Music Building Website Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: February 2026
Our Commitment
The Music Building is committed to providing a digital environment that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability. We believe that the creativity housed within our walls should be accessible to everyone online. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website, musicbuilding.com, and in doing so, adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
Conformance Status
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. While we are in the process of auditing our platform to ensure full compliance, we recognize that some areas of the site may still be undergoing improvements.
Third-Party Features & Plugins
Please be aware that our website utilizes third-party plugins for studio bookings and our community directory. These features are developed and maintained by third-party vendors. While we encourage our partners to comply with WCAG standards, The Music Building does not have direct control over the accessibility of these specific components. We are currently evaluating these plugins and will advocate for accessibility improvements with our vendors where necessary.
Known Limitations
As we have not yet completed a comprehensive manual or automated audit (such as WAVE or Lighthouse), users may encounter the following limitations:
- Navigation: Some elements within the booking or directory tools may not be fully optimized for keyboard-only navigation.
- Media: Historical images may lack descriptive “alt-text.”
- Form Errors: Third-party forms may not always provide clear error-handling instructions for screen readers.
Accessibility Assistance & Feedback
If you encounter a barrier on our website or have difficulty using any part of the site, please contact our Accessibility Coordinator directly. We will work with you to provide the information or complete the transaction you require through an alternative method.
