The building

Ground floor on 61st Street with no step at the entrance and no lift to wait for. The treatment rooms and the gym floor are all on that level. There is a toilet on the same floor.

If you use a wheelchair, a walker or a stick and want to know whether a specific thing will work — the door width, the turning space in a treatment room, the height of the plinths — telephone and ask before you book rather than finding out on arrival.

What is built into this website

• Every page is a single <h1> followed by a proper heading order, so a screen reader's outline matches the visible one.
• Every image carries alt text describing what it shows, and every image declares its width and height so the page does not jump about as it loads.
• Colour contrast is checked in the build rather than asserted here — the audit tool measures real computed values against real backgrounds on both the light and dark sections.
• The whole site is keyboard navigable, including the booking application: the therapist picker, the calendar, the slot grid and the form can all be operated without a mouse, and focus is visible.
• The navigation drawer traps focus while it is open and returns it where it came from.
• The hero video is decorative, muted, carries no captions because it has no content, and is hidden from assistive technology. It respects a reduced-motion preference.
• Nothing depends on colour alone. The calendar marks free days with a dot as well as a shade.
• No text is an image, so page zoom and browser text sizing both work properly.

What is known to be imperfect

The booking calendar is a grid of buttons. It works with a keyboard and it is not as pleasant to use with a screen reader as a native date field would be, and that is a real trade-off rather than an oversight — a native control cannot show which days have hours free.

Some of the condition pages are long. That is deliberate, and it does make them slower to skim with a screen reader; every one has a heading structure that allows jumping between sections.

This site has been tested with a keyboard and with the accessibility checks in the build. It has not been tested by a person who uses a screen reader daily, and that is the gap most worth naming.

If something does not work

Email physical@bestdealwebdesign.com or telephone 000-000-0000 and say what you were trying to do and what happened. For this demonstration site there is nobody on the other end, and on a real clinic's site that sentence would be the most important one on the page.
