Limitations and alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Born Thai, 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 Born Thai:

  1. Gallery and food images: Uploaded images may not have text alternatives or descriptions because the platform does not immediately update the provided text alternatives or descriptions. We will consistently monitor for new changes. Typically, text alternatives or descriptions are fully published within 2 business days. Please contact us, so we are aware of this situation.

  2. Website platform: Currently, Born Thai is utilizing Squarespace to host their website. Certain elements and blocks may or may not be fully compliant. However, we are implementing workarounds to provide ARIA labels. Please be patient with us as these features will gradually be pushed out.

  3. Online ordering platform: Born Thai is currently using a Third Party service (GlobalFood) to take and receive online orders. The desktop version may or may not be completely compliant because we cannot control the nature and development environment of this Third Party service. We are currently working with GlobalFood to provide a better experience for all of our customers. The mobile version is WCAG 2.0 compliant. We advise our customers to contact us directly if you wish to order food or browse our website menu catalogue.
